Developing themes of his earlier works, Poulantzas here advances a vigorous critique of contemporary Marxist theories of State, arguing against a general theory of state, and the identifying forms of class power crucial to socialist strategy that goes beyond the state. This new edition includes an introduction by Stuart Hall, which critically appraises Poulantzas's achievement.
