The foundation for this analysis is the different ways in which Marxists have understood war and military strategy since the mid-nineteenth century. In doing so, Egan argues that the distinction between war of position and war of maneuver which is so central to Gramsci’s work as well as contemporary interpretations of his work must be understood in a more dialectical manner. This conclusion is important not only in terms of Gramsci’s social theory, but also for understanding the limits and possibilities of contemporary political strategies for the left worldwide.Studies in Critical Social Sciences94.Military art and sciencePhilosophyManeuver warfarePhilosophy, MarxistCommunist strategyCommunist strategyfastManeuver warfarefastMilitary art and sciencefastPhilosophy, MarxistfastCriticism, interpretation, etc.fastElectronic books.Military art and scienceManeuver warfare.Philosophy, Marxist.Communist strategy.Communist strategy.Maneuver warfare.Military art and science.Philosophy, Marxist.355.001Egan Daniel1963-856428NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910149600503321The dialectic of position and maneuver1912633UNINA
