The concept of the “state-society-capital complex” is an extension of Robert W. Cox’s “state-society complex” that I developed by engaging Neo-Gramscian scholarship and the work of Nicos Poulantzas. See Yuliya Yurchenko, Ukraine and the Empire of Capital: From Marketisation to Armed Conflict (Pluto Press, 2018); and Robert W. Cox, "Social Forces, States and World Orders: Beyond International Relations Theory," Millenium: Journal of International Studies 10, no. 2 (1981): 126-155.

Reflections in this piece were developed in their initial form for the Construction Festival in Dnipro, November 2023, and refined during my fellowship at the IWM Vienna, April–June 2024 as part of the Ukraine in European Dialogue Fellowship Program. I am grateful for the latter opportunity of a space and time to think and imagine a way out of the hell of war.
