Administering civil society towards a theory of state power

To preserve social order the state must administer civil society, with a threefold purpose - the fashioning of the market, the constitution of legal subjectivity and the subsumption of struggle. In Administering Civil Society Mark Neocleous offers a rethinking of the state-civil society distinction through the idea of political administration. This is achieved through an original reading of Hegel's Philosophy of Right and an insightful critique of Foucault's account of power and administration. The outcome is a highly provocative theory of state power.

  • "By arguing that state power must be understood through its law and administration continuum, and that civil society must be understood through its administration by the state, this book offers an original and highly provocative contribution to social and political thought, challenging previous Marxist theories of the state and reasserting the importance of the state-civil society distinction to contemporary Marxism."
