This volume develops a novel approach to state theory. It offers a
comprehensive review of the existing literature on the state and
sets a new agenda for state research.
Four central themes define the scope of the book: an account of
the bases of the operational autonomy of the state; the need to
develop state theory as part of a more general social theory; the
possibilities of explaining ’capitalist societalization’ without
assuming that the economy is the ultimate determinant of societal
dynamics; and a defence of the method of articulation in theory
construction.
In developing these issues, Bob Jessop both builds on and goes
well beyond the view presented in his earlier books, The
Capitalist State (1982) and Nicos Poulantzas (1985). The
result is a highly original statement which will become a
center-point of discussion. The volume confirms the author’s
standing as one of the most important post-War Marxist state
theorists.
