集体劳动的社会力量。这限制了工会的活动，并将其纳入行政程序。在为市场塑造劳动力的那个时期，资本同样被赋予了一种新的法律形式(公司形式)，通过这种形式，资本主义可以进行扩张。工人阶级进入民间社会和国家，构成了出现包容斗争的行政机制的基础。对于Neocleous来说，通过包容斗争，政治管理是工人阶级权力的盛会；工人阶级在胜利时刻捕捉并正式确定了政治胜利。这些结构诞生于工人阶级的斗争，然后就剩下管理同一阶级的任务，这项任务既涉及工人阶级的集体组织，也涉及其被称为“公民”的分解要素。法律和行政之间的联系的重要性在第五章中被引出，前面几章中的论点在那里得到了结果。通过探索英国工人阶级融入政治的时期，Neocleous探索了行政政治化的时期，国家出于三个目的而利用行政：法律主体性的构成、市场的形成和斗争的包容。关于这本书的洞察力，还可以说得更多。然而，批评的一点是，Neocleous主张同时使用基础-上层建筑和国家-公民社会的对联。但目前还不清楚这种结合是如何表述的。在这样的组合中，国家和阶级也有可能变得外部化，有时，这种外部化的感觉会出现在叙事中。尽管如此，这显然是一本重要的、令人振奋的书，值得广泛阅读。
the social power of collective labour. This placed a limit on the activities of the unions and also incorporated them as part of the administrative process. In the very period in which labour-power was being fashioned for the market, capital was equally being given a new legal form (corporate form) through which capitalist expansion could take place. The entrance of the working class into civil society and the state formed the basis for the emergence of administrative mechanisms for the subsumption of struggle. For Neocleous, by subsuming struggle, political administration is working-class power post festum; working-class political victories captured and formalised at their moment of triumph. Born of the struggle of the working class these structures are then left with the task of administering that same class, a task performed in relation to both collective organisations of the working class and its decomposed elements known as ‘citizens’. The importance of the links between law and administration is drawn out in Chapter 5, where the arguments developed in earlier chapters come to fruition. By exploring the period in which the working class is incorporated into the body politic in Britain, Neocleous explores the period in which administration becomes politicised, being used by the state for the threefold purpose: the constitution of legal subjectivity, the fashioning of the market and the subsumption of struggle. Much more could be said about this book’s insights. One point of criticism, however, is that Neocleous argues for an approach in which both the base-superstructure and the state-civil society couplets are to be used together. But it is not clear how such a combination is to be articulated. There is also the potential in such a combination for state and class to become externalised and, at times, a sense of this externalisation comes across in the narrative. Nevertheless, this clearly is an important and stimulating book and deserves to widely read.
