It offers a comprehensive review of the existing literature on the state and sets a new agenda for state research.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFour 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn developing these issues, Bob Jessop both builds on and goes well beyond the view presented in his earlier books, \u003ci\u003eThe Capitalist State\u003c\/i\u003e (1982) and \u003ci\u003eNicos Poulantzas\u003c\/i\u003e (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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45200976609431,"sku":"9780745602905","price":2718.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780745602905.webp?v=1767667823","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/state-theory-putting-the-capitalist-state-in-its-place-9780745602905","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
