Law-Making as Praxis

Abstract

Abstract There has been for some time a recognized crisis in classical Marxist political theory that can no longer, if it ever did, adequately account for the role of the state in advanced capitalism. This crisis has called forth a series of creative but incomplete attempts to conceptualize the advanced capitalist state. There is likewise a long-smoldering crisis in liberal legal theory, which has, in turn, called forth a critical response symbolized by such developments as the creation of the Conference on Critical Legal Studies. One major strand in the emerging attack on liberal legalism is the elaboration of a neo-Marxist legal theory, which is laying foundations for the creation of a Marxist jurisprudential culture in the United States.
