Pages: 260
Format: Paperback / softback
In State, Power, Socialism, the leading theorist of the state and European communism offers a resounding response to contemporary Marxist theories of the state. Arguing against a general theory of the state, Poulantzas identifies forms of class power crucial to socialist strategy that go beyond the state apparatus.
"It is Poulantzas's great virtue to have seen so clearly that an adequate Marxist theory of politics must be able to deal with just those phenomena which non-Marxists have regarded as decisive refutations of Marxism." Times Literary Supplement
