The specter of the Manifesto stalks neoliberal globalization : reconfiguring Marxist discourse(s) in the 1990s

In this chapter, however, I am not concerned with offering an overview and subsequent categorization of the positions expressed in these texts. Rather, my interest lies in presenting and analysing the various rhetorical maneuvers employed by Marxist intellectuals in their engagement with the keyword. Ultimately, this chapter seeks to contribute to a better understanding of how the ideological contest over the meanings of “globalization” became a powerful catalyst in the revision of the theoretical and political discourse(s) of the radical left.
