State, Power, Socialsim

Translator Patrick Camiller presents Nicos Poulantzas’ intelligent volume to English-speaking readers. State, Power, Socialism develops themes from Poulantzas’ earlier works, challenging contemporary Marxist theories of state, arguing against a general theory of the state and recognizing forms of class power vital to socialist strategy that transcends the machinery of the state. This updated edition of the classic work includes Stuart Hall’s incisive introduction, originally published in New Left Review, which takes a critical approach to evaluating Poulantzas’ achievement.
