	Nicos Poulantzas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nicos Poulantzas (1936-1979) was a Greco-French Marxist political sociologist.
		Poulantzas argued that the state, though relatively autonomous from the capitalist class, nonetheless functions to ensure the smooth operation of capitalist society, and therefore benefits the capitalist class.
		Borrowing from Antonio Gramsci's notion of cultural hegemony, Poulantzas argued that repressing movements of the oppressed is not the sole function of the state.

	State, Power, Socialism
		The premature death of Nicos Poulantzas was, indeed, a great disaster for Marxism, and for all social theorists concerned with the critical evaluation of the State.
		In State, Power, Socialism, Nicos Poulantzas (a member of the Greek Communist Party of the Interior from 1968 until his death in 1979 at the age of 43) advances a rigorous critique of contemporary Marxist theories of the state.
		Poulantzas argues against a general theory of the state, and identifying forms of class power crucial to socialist strategy that goes beyond the apparatus of the state.

		In Poulantzas' words, "this State by its very structure, gives to the economic interests of certain dominated classes guarantees which may even be contrary to the short term economic interests of the dominant classes, but which are compatible with their political interests and their hegemonic domination" (Poulantzas, 1974, p.
		Poulantzas wrote that "It is permanent monopolization of knowledge by this scientist-state, by its apparatuses and its agents, which also determines the organizational functions and the direction of the State" (1978, pp.
		Poulantzas' notion of the state as a locus of struggle remains, but the struggle inside the state shifts from one based solely on class to one based on group (including class) identity and their various and multi-faceted conceptions of reintegration.

	Globalization and the Nation-State (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Poulantzas experienced the early phase of globalization, and defined it in terms of imperialism, i.
		Poulantzas argued that the domestic bourgeosie cannot be subsumed under the categories of national nor comprador capital (found in the peripheral formations) since it tend to lose political-ideological autonomy but nevertheless has own bases of accumulation at home and abroad.
		Poulantzas hold that the nation-state retains its own existence with respect to the 'national' forms of the class struggle, and through this, the link between state and nation is maintained.

	International Rooksbyism: Jessop on the Capitalist State
		Like Poulantzas, Jessop characterises the capitalist state as ‘the material condensation of a relation of forces among classes’ (Jessop, 1985: 336) and as ‘a complex social relation that reflects the changing balance of social forces in a determinate conjuncture’ (Jessop, 1982: 221).
		Though Jessop follows Poulantzas in his conceptualisation of the state as a social relation which the bourgeoisie must struggle to shape and control, Jessop rejects Poulantzas’ seeming affirmation that the ruling class is, in some way, destined to establish hegemonic control over the state (and therefore, over society).
		Unlike Poulantzas, Jessop argues that the domination of the bourgeoisie over the state apparatus is not somehow guaranteed and neither is there any necessary correspondence between the activity of the state and the requirements of the capitalist economy.

		NICOS POULANTZAS AND HEIDI HARTMANN ON CLASS STRUCTURING IN CONTEMPORARY CAPTIALIST SOCIETY.
		Both theorists follow a Marxist orientation, but they differ from one another because of Poulantzas' structuralism and Hartmann's feminism.
		Poulantzas expanded and clarified Marxist class theory by adding new categories and definitions; Hartmann argues that the patriarchial exploitation of women goes beyond class distinctions and that it has its locus in the family and housework.

		My starting point is the theoretical practices of structural Marxism in the mid-1960s and their confrontation with the confrontations of May 1968, the autunno caldo, and other forms and acts of resistance in the late 1960s and the concomitant need to reflect on the failures of theoretical and political practice.
		One of Poulantzas’s major contributions to the re-grounding of Marxist state theory was to take the institutional materiality of the state seriously and to explore the implications of different state forms and political regimes for economic, political, and social inequalities.
		Poulantzas was also increasingly concerned with questions of institutional design and the complementary weaknesses of representative and direct democracy, the party form and social movements, and class reductionism and a pluralistic politics of identities.

		Poulantzas seems to think that any approach that does not specifically embrace a theoretical problematic [roughly equals paradigm ] must be abstracted empiricism [which is Althusser's view].
		Poulantzas could not know that from a purely theoreticist point of view.
		The apparent split between managers and owners is important if we are to investigate matters such as the cohesion of the ruling class.

	Radical Society: BRINGING THE CAPITALIST STATE BACK IN
		To evoke and build upon the theoretical legacy of Ralph Miliband and Nicos Poulantzas, as Aronowitz and Bratsis do explicitly in Paradigm Lost, is to go against the academic grain, but doing so is a necessity for understanding the relation of the state to capitalist globalization and the concomitant decline of social democracy.
		In Thomas's view, Poulantzas was the preeminent theorist of globalization years before usage of the term became common.
		It was Poulantzas who noted the marginalization of the "national" and "comprador" fractions of the bourgeoisie, surpassed by new "domestic" bourgeoisies tied to transnational capital.

	NEGATIVE - CRITIQUE - FEMINIST CRITIQUE OF PRIVACY 129
		At the same time that the state's activity reaches into all spheres of people's everyday lives, the state makes concrete the distinction between public and private life.3 The state sets itself up as the public sphere, and life within the family is then defined as private in relation to the state.
		Nicos Poulantzas states this clearly: "For it is not the 'external' space of the modern family which shuts itself off from the state, but rather the state which, at the very time that it set itself up as the public space, traces and assigns the site of the family.
		This ideological structuring of the public and private worlds by the state opens up private life to the encroachment by the state by supposedly closing off this realm from state power, which, in actuality, leaves it vulnerable to state interference.

	Some thoughts on Anti-Capitalist Strategy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		As pointed out by Nicos Poulantzas, in spite their differences, Social Democracy and Stalinism both are “marked by statism and a profound distrust of mass initiatives, in short a suspicion of democratic demands.”
		Poulantzas goes onto convincingly argue that the statist roots of Stalinism lie in the Leninist analysis of the state itself.
		By helping the working class build institutions that educate and meet its needs, we catalyze the development of mass conscience and mass struggle essential for the democratic socialist project.

	International Rooksbyism: Poulantzas and Jessop - Could do Better
		I'm trying to write a chapter on capitalist state power, incorporating the theories of Nicos Poulantzas, the British 'Capital Logic' school, Bob Jessop, Fred Block and Ralph Miliband (stop me if I'm boring you).
		This is a problem, since the stuff on Poulantzas in particular was supposed to form the centrepiece (nay, the pivot, if you will) of my thesis.
		I'm starting to wonder if Poulantzas shot himself because he re-read State, Power, Socialism on a dreary, drizzley Friday afternoon, realised that he didn't know what on earth he was banging on about and simply lost the will to live.

		Nicos Poulantzas was correct in writing that in imperialist countries, « the national state is undergoing important modifications in order to take over the internationalization of capital.
		It is, insists Nicos Poulantzas, above all important not to fall into the trap of «the line of defence of one’s ‘own’ national state against ‘cosmopolitan institutions’ » (6).
		48[5] Nicos Poulantzas avait eu raison, dans les années 70, de rejetter les prévisions, assez diffusées à l’époque, d’un « déclin » de l’hégémonie mondiale nord-américaine.

	German Law Journal - Welcome to the Desert of Real Imagination
		[9] Nicos Poulantzas tries to capture this phenomenon with the concept of an "internal bourgeoisie."[20] This differs from a national bourgeoisie, which directly is related to the national state, as well as from the comprador bourgeoisie, which lacks its own material base and is therefore totally dependent on metropolitan capital.
		Unfortunately Poulantza's concept of internal bourgeoisie is too close to domination of the US bourgeoisie'.
		Therefore it needs to be reformulated.

		Strangely, given the influence of Poulantzas, Harney's engagement with state work is largely undifferentiated with respect to class.
		His problematic is the nature of state work in general, and his arguments are pitched at that level of abstraction.
		The essential point for Poulantzas is that subordinate interests (which in his work are too narrowly class-based) must achieve real representation inside the state in order to be most effectively subordinated.

		In developing these issues, Bob Jessop both builds on and goes well beyond the view presented in his earlier books, The Capitalist State (1982) and Nicos Poulantzas (1985).

		There are at least two main issues, though, that could have been pursued in a little more detail to add greater weight to the argument and focus of the book.
		Firstly, there is a puzzling detour within the 'theoretical history' of hegemony that starts from Gramsci and then proceeds to discuss the works of Lenin and Trotsky, whilst subsequently moving on to E.P. Thompson, Raymond Williams, Nicos Poulantzas, Louis Althusser, Jacques Derrida, and Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe.
		There is clearly no single point of reference on hegemony and the lineage of the term could be traced through the writings of the nineteenth-century Italian philosopher Vincenzo Gioberti as much as through the Russian labour movement.

		I also asked whether the French marxism of 1960’s contained anything better, especially Nicos Poulantzas state and class theoretical approach which with respect to Althusser’s re-reading pursued much the same as Foucault himself did.
		My intention was to unravel what Foucault and Poulantzas told together of the strategical codification of social regulation when the primary emphasis was paid to the fact, that both of them shared many similar research aims and concepts of which neither managed ever to polish.
		This kind of concepts are most of all tactics, strategies and hegemonies whose march order remained — however — partially open.

		It was Leon Trotsky who first argued that fascism was a degenerative form of capitalism.
		Likewise, Nicos Poulantzas claimed that it was an authoritarian response to the contradictions of capitalism, when democratic institutions are no longer capable of patching up the "broken barrel" that is the free market.
		But the free market, as such, has never existed in countries that fully embraced the fascist model of political economy.
