It is often remarked that critical - and especially Marxist - state
theory began to lose its central place in the study of comparative
politics in the 1980s. Ironically, this shift occurred just as
neoliberal policies were transforming the social form and spatial
scales of the state, radically restructuring the practices of state
economic intervention, and extending the capabilities of the
coercive arms of the state. This volume addresses the
'impoverishment of state theory' over the last decades and insists
on the continued salience of class analysis to the study of states.
The book's title, State Transformations, reflects several central
themes in the comparative study of states: the neoliberal
restructuring of capitalist states, the changing economic and
political architecture of imperialism, and the prospects of a
democratic transformation of capitalist states. The essays
collected here are intended to honor the memory of Leo Panitch,
whose influential body of work has shaped debates on the state,
imperialism, and socialism over the past four decades. Contributors
are: Clyde W. Barrow, Caio Bugiato, Frank Deppe, Ruth Felder, Ana
Garcia, Sam Gindin, Doug Henwood, Martijn Konings, Colin Leys,
Sebnem Oguz, Bryan D. Palmer, Dennis Pilon, Larry Savage, Charles
Smith, Michalis Spourdalakis and Hilary Wainwright.
