RT Book, Section A1 Parisot, James T1 Expanding Geopolitical Economy: A Critique of the Theory of Successive Hegemonies T2 Theoretical Engagements in Geopolitical Economy YR 2015 DO 10.1108/S0161-72302015000030A013 VO 30A SP 0 SN 978-1-78560-295-5 PB Emerald Group Publishing Limited AB This paper situates geopolitical economy in light of a broader rethinking of the history of capitalism and international power. It discusses why the ideas of British and American hegemony are problematic. Specifically, it argues that categorizing these powers as hegemonic leaves out a more complex history that theories of hegemony have excluded, and cannot include, else the concept of hegemony would collapse. Finally, I suggest geopolitical economy may be a starting point for writing a new history of capitalism and world order. RD 4/10/2026 UL https://doi.org/10.1108/S0161-72302015000030A013
