Description
State Power presents Bob Jessop's distinctive approach to understanding how states exercise power. This book focuses on the development of his strategic-relational theory and applies it to four case studies, including Marx, Gramsci, Poulantzas, and Foucault.
The author reviews recent developments in state theory and the cultural turn in political economy, and offers critical re-readings of major state theorists. The book also explores key issues concerning the contemporary state, such as its gendered selectivity, temporal sovereignty, and relevance to multi-scalar meta-governance in Europe.
With a comprehensive theoretical statement and guidelines for application, this book provides a valuable contribution to political economy and state theory research. It concludes with recommendations for future strategic-relational research.
