L'œuvre de Nicos Poulantzas (1936-1979) alimente aujourd'hui au plan international les recherches marxistes parmi les plus novatrices. État, crise, classes sociales, mondialisation, Europe, transformation des rapports de production, fascisme… sur tous ces sujets, Poulantzas a fait évoluer le marxisme sur des voies inexplorées, en l'ouvrant également à des influences extérieures, celles de Max Weber ou Michel Foucault par exemple. Cette œuvre se situe à la charnière de deux époques : le capitalisme d'après-guerre et son cycle de croissance ininterrompu de trois décennies, et la période issue de l'entrée en crise de ce cycle dans la première moitié des années 1970, dont nous ne sommes à bien des égards pas encore sortis. C'est ce qui confère à la pensée de Poulantzas sa grande actualité. Aujourd'hui, de nouvelles générations de chercheurs et de militants partent à la découverte de cette pensée, et cherchent à la mettre à contribution pour comprendre les évolutions du capitalisme et de l'État contemporains. C'est dans ce mouvement de redécouverte du marxisme en général, et des idées de Poulantzas en particulier, que cet ouvrage s'inscrit. A l'heure où les mouvements sociaux et politiques connaissent un net regain en France et ailleurs, et où se posent à eux des questions stratégiques urgentes, il est nécessaire de redécouvrir et de mettre en discussion l'œuvre de celui qui fut un théoricien marxiste en prise avec la conjoncture politique de son temps.

In The Thatcherite Offensive , Alexander Gallas provides a class-centred political analysis of Thatcherism. Drawing upon Greek state theorist Nicos Poulantzas, he challenges both mainstream and critical accounts of British politics in the 1980s and 90s. He shows that Thatcherism’s sucess and novelty, indeed its unity as a political project, lay in the fact that the Thatcher governments profoundly shifted class relations in Britain in favour of capital and restructured the institutions underpinning class domination. According to Gallas, it was an integral part of the Thatcherite project to directly intervene in labour relations, to deprive workers of their ability to forge coalitions, and to smash militant trade unionism.

We have recently lived through the turmoil of a global financial crisis that originated in the United States and, despite the platitudes of neo-liberal ideology, nation-states 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 Poulantzas-Miliband 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.
