Indepth study of the enduring impact of the 1970s debate between state theorists Ralph Miliband and Nicos Poulantzas.We have recently lived through the turmoil of a global financial crisis that originated in the United States and, despite the platitudes of neoliberal ideology, nationstates were deeply involved in managing this crisis. If the state is again a preeminent actor in the global economy, then state theory and the problem of the state should also return to the forefront of political theory. Toward a Critical Theory of States is an intensive analysis of the 1970s debate between state theorists Ralph Miliband and Nicos Poulantzas, including its wider impact on Marxist theories of the state in subsequent decades. Clyde W. Barrow makes unique arguments and contributions to this continuing discussion in state theory and lays the foundation for more theoretically informed empirical and historical research on the state in the age of globalization. He argues that by merely moving past the PoulantzasMiliband debate, as some have recommended, scholars have abandoned much that is valuable in understanding the state, particularly the need to comprehend the contemporary transformation of the state form and the state apparatuses as part of the new conditions of globalization and transnational capital accumulation. Building upon themes of state restructuring found in Poulantzas and Miliband, Barrow establishes the outlines of an approach that integrates the thought of both to propose a synthetic understanding of the new imperialism.

I was really looking forward to this book but found it a bit dense and hard to follow at times. The discussions are important, but I struggled with some of the terminology. It might be better for someone with a strong background in the field.

A Mixed Bag on Political Science
This book has some gems, but it also has parts that feel a bit repetitive. I was hoping for more fresh insights into globalization's impact on state theory. It’s useful if you can sift through the less engaging parts.

Essential for Understanding Modern States
This is a must-read for anyone interested in how globalization affects state theory. The way the authors tackle the Poulantzas vs. Miliband debate is fascinating and really opens up your perspective on state dynamics in the global age.

Good Perspectives but Lacked Depth
While I appreciated some of the insights in this book, I felt certain sections could have gone deeper. The debate is intriguing but sometimes misses context that would help new readers. Still, it's a decent addition to any political science library.

An Insightful Read on Political Theory
I found this book quite enlightening, especially the discussions around Poulantzas and Miliband. The arguments presented are very relevant to today's political landscape. If you're studying political science, this is definitely worth your time!
