"Political sociology as a subject has changed beyond recognition in the last ten years but until now textbooks have lagged behind.  Roger King's important book takes as its starting point the fragmentation of the discipline and introduces a range of recent Marxist and other critical writing on the state showing how these can be related to and integrated with the more traditional concerns of the subject."
