Bonapartism

Six Essays on the Concept of Caesarism
Book •
'Bonapartism' analyzes the historical phenomenon of Bonapartism as a distinct form of political rule.

Losurdo examines the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte and his consolidation of power in post-revolutionary France.

He explores the social and economic conditions that gave rise to Bonapartism, including the legacy of the French Revolution and the rise of capitalism.

Losurdo critiques both liberal and Marxist interpretations of Bonapartism, arguing that it represents a complex interplay between class interests, state power, and ideological legitimation.

He highlights the Bonapartist state's ability to balance competing social forces while maintaining its own autonomy and authority.
