This book examines what value, if any, the state has for the
pursuit of progressive politics; and how it might need to be
reimagined and remade to deliver transformative change. Is it
possible to reimagine the state in ways that open up projects of
political transformation? This interdisciplinary collection
provides alternative perspectives to the 'antistatism' of much
critical writing and contemporary political movement activism.
Contributors explore ways of reimagining the state that attend
critically to the capitalist, neoliberal, gendered and racist
conditions of contemporary polities, yet seek to hold onto the
state in the process. Drawing on postcolonial, poststructuralist,
feminist, queer, Marxist and anarchist thinking, they consider how
states might be reread and reclaimed for radical politics. At the
heart of this book is state plasticity - the capacity of the state
conceptually and materially to take different forms. This
plasticity is central to transformational thinking and practice,
and to the conditions and labour that allow it to take place. But
what can reimagining do; and what difficulties does it confront?
This book will appeal to academics and research students concerned
with critical and transformative approaches to state theory,
particularly in governance studies, politics and political theory,
socio-legal studies, international relations, geography,
gender/sexuality, cultural studies and anthropology.
