(2017) Bourdieu's theory of the state, Dordrecht, Springer.
This chapter outlines Bourdieu's intellectual biography. It contends that his work can be understood in terms of a world-view. It then places his writings within the intellectual and political context within which they emerged. It argues that his work can be understood in terms of five major overlapping phases. Finally, it outlines and summarises his most important theoretical concepts, including habitus, field, capital, strategies and the economy of practices.
