In light of the reemergence of the post-colonial and peripheral state as a crucial institution and actor in the 21st centurys capitalist world-system, the book examines the nature, functions and development dynamics of the state in the periphery, as well as its constituting interests and struggles. Drawing on the works of Poulantzas and Gramsci, dependency and world-systems theory, as well as the regulation school and the German Ableitungsdebatte, stategraphy and critical realism, it analyzes the development of different theoretical perspectives on the state, elaborates on their theoretical, ontological and epistemological presuppositions, and illustrates their methodological, practical and ethical implications. The book is divided into three parts, the first of which provides an overview of recent global capitalist developments and challenges for state theory and lays the theoretical, ontological and hermeneutic foundation for studies of the state and statehood in the Global South. In turn, the second part introduces readers to different schools of state theory, including critical theory and materialism, as well as approaches derived from postcolonial, anthropological, and feminist thought. Lastly, the third part presents various empirical studies, highlighting concrete methodological and practical experiences of conducting critical state theory Notes Tilman Evers ́Concept of the Peripheral State Online resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed May 3, 2022) Subject Economic history Politics and government SUBJECT Developing countries -- Politics and government Developing countries -- Economic conditions. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85037344 Subject Developing countries Form Electronic book Author Fahimi, Miriam, editor Flatschart, Elmar, editor Schaffar, Wolfram, editor.
