This volume develops a novel approach to state theory. It offers a comprehensive review of the existing literature on the state and sets a new agenda for state research.
Four central themes define the scope of the book: an account of the bases of the operational autonomy of the state; the need to develop state theory as part of a more general social theory; the possibilities of explaining "capitalist societalization" without assuming that the economy is the ultimate determinate of societal dynamics; and a defense of the method of articulation in theory construction.
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). The result is a highly original statement that should stimulate much debate. The volume confirms the author's standing as one of the most important postwar Marxist state theorists.

reviewed State theory on August 07, 2017 State theory
I'll echo the other reviews. Not enough emphasis and accuracy regarding Lenin (to be fair, we have the present benefit of access to more literature and sources). James didn't spend any/enough time explaining why state-capitalism is undesirable. Because of that, a novice student may come away from this book with an undeveloped criticism that will lead to more perversions of Marx. Overall, this book lacked more than it offered, and it's real value is in capturing an historical moment. It's short enough that you can read it while being aware of its failures, and not feel like you've wasted your time.
