本文质疑国家资本主义的概念，探讨该概念作为理论化国家在世界资本主义经济中更明显作用的手段的贡献和局限性。我们批判性地综合了战略管理、比较资本主义和全球政治经济学这三个文献中的关键论点，概述了国家资本主义经常被引用的属性和实践。我们发现，这个术语不仅缺乏统一的定义，而且实际上所指的政策工具、战略目标、制度形式和网络极其广泛，并且不同程度地涉及国家。为了使这种竞争性用法的扩散富有成效并且不会导致分析僵局，我们认为需要对国家资本主义作为一个分析类别进行更高水平的反思性审查。本着这种精神，我们确定了文献必须进一步解决的三个问题，以使该术语具有分析意义，即能够使（国家）资本主义多样性易于分析和批判：（1）资本主义国家理论的“缺失环节”，（2）国家资本主义的时间范围，或“分期”问题，（3）领土考虑或国家资本主义“定位”问题。
This article interrogates the notion of state capitalism, exploring the contributions and limits of the concept as a means of theorizing the more visible role of the state across the world capitalist economy. We critically synthesize the key arguments, outlining commonly cited properties and practices of state capitalism, in three bodies of literature: strategic management, comparative capitalism and global political economy. We find that the term not only lacks a unified definition, but actually refers to an extremely wide array of policy instruments, strategic objectives, institutional forms and networks, that involve the state to different degrees. For this proliferation of competing usages to be productive and not lead to analytical impasses, we argue that there is a need for a heightened level of reflexive scrutiny of state capitalism as a category of analysis. In that spirit, we identify three issues that the literature must further grapple with for the term to be analytically meaningful, that is, capable of rendering (state)capitalist diversity amenable to analysis and critique: (1) the 'missing link' of a theory of the capitalist state, (2) the time horizons of state capitalism, or the question of 'periodization', (3) territorial considerations or the question of 'locating' state capitalism.
