States in Contemporary Capitalism: Materialist Perspectives
Post_Doc Workshop, 29/30 June 2016
University of Kassel
“Who today can escape the question of the State and power? Who indeed does not talk about it?
The current political situation, not only in France but in the whole of Europe, is certainly one
reason for its topicality. But talk is not enough: we have to understand, know and explain.”
(Nicos Poulantzas, 1978)
