This book focuses on critical approaches to the state and state
theory in the Global South. In light of the reemergence of the
post-colonial and peripheral state as a crucial institution and
actor in the 21st century's capitalist world-system, the book
examines the nature, functions and development dynamics of the
state in the periphery, as well as its constituting interests and
struggles. Drawing on the works of Poulantzas and Gramsci,
dependency and world-systems theory, as well as the regulation
school and the German Ableitungsdebatte, stategraphy and critical
realism, it analyzes the development of different theoretical
perspectives on the state, elaborates on their theoretical,
ontological and epistemological presuppositions, and illustrates
their methodological, practical and ethical implications. The book
is divided into three parts, the first of which provides an
overview of recent global capitalist developments and challenges
for state theory and lays the theoretical, ontological and
hermeneutic foundation for studies of the state and statehood in
the Global South. In turn, the second part introduces readers to
different schools of state theory, including critical theory and
materialism, as well as approaches derived from postcolonial,
anthropological, and feminist thought. Lastly, the third part
presents various empirical studies, highlighting concrete
methodological and practical experiences of conducting critical
state theory.
