| An analysis of an alternative presented by Innes and Plaut which criticised an earlier Davies article (see links to both of these below). ((body of Kaplan debate here)) Duncan Innes and Martin Plaut in their article 'Class Struggle and the State' , (Review no. 11) have firstly criticised an earlier article by Robert Davies et al in ROAPE number 7 (also linked below), and secondly provided an alternative analysis of the South African State in the period between the world wars. This article examines that alternative and, suggests major limitations in their analysis. I then go on to present a broad framework for a more adequate conceptualization of the distinctive character of the South African State. |
