Nicos Poulantzas  

Definition

  • Nicos Poulantzas was a Greek political theorist who spent his most productive years in Paris from 1960 until his suicide on October 3, 1979. He held several posts at universities in Paris—his last as professor of sociology at Vincennes University—but his work defied conventional disciplinary boundaries in its concern to critique contemporary capitalism.
