ABSTRACT
This chapter suggests that contemporary circumstances warrant a more fundamental rethink of hegemony as ‘complex hegemony’. The first part sets out complexity as a general metatheoretical premise. The second part then relates the complexity principle more particularly to hegemony in contemporary world politics. The third part develops a more concrete account of complex hegemony in the context of today's global Internet governance. The conclusion suggests directions for future research of complex hegemony in world politics.
