Beschreibungen

Paul Wetherly provides a restatement and defence of the classical Marxist theory of the state, developing an analytical approach that draws on G.A. Cohen's functional interpretation of Marx's theory of history. Instrumentalist and structuralist arguments are conceived as related causal mechanisms within the functional approach, and the principle of economic determination is shown to be consistent with the relative autonomy of the state as an institution with its own interests and capacities. This old-fashioned interpretation is defended against rival approaches within contemporary Marxism.
Introduction: The Theory of History and the State Marx, the State and Functional Explanation The Instrumentalist Thesis: A Restatement Structure and Agency in State Theory Base and Superstructure A Theory of the 'Needs of Capital' State Autonomy: A Conceptual Framework Constraints on the State: Mechanisms of Economic Determination Globalization, History and the State
