Abstract

Marxist theories of the capitalist state deal with questions about the role of the state in society, and more specifically its relation to class and class struggle. This chapter critically examines some of these theories. In discussing these I will indicate their links to classical Marxism, and also pay attention to the tensions within and among the different Marxian approaches. In the discussion I will try to highlight contributions of scholars to state theory working in different disciplines including economics, sociology, human geography and political science.
