State, Power, Socialism

By Nicos Poulantzas and Stuart Hall

Developing themes of his earlier works, Poulantzas here advances a vigorous critique of contemporary Marxist theories of the state, arguing against a general theory of the state, and identifying forms of class power crucial to socialist strategy that goes beyond the apparatus of the state.

This new edition includes an introduction by Stuart Hall, which critically appraises Poulantzas’s achievement.
