capitalist class (TCC) has emerged, which operates across the borders of
national states. The approaches in question are debated widely in the social
sciences, not only because of their theoretical assumptions and the empir-
ical evidence provided, but also because international power relations are
changing, not least in the context of the current crisis. The main claim of
the authors in question appears to be validated by the advancing interna-
tionalization of capital relations and by the internationalization of the state.
It appears that these processes have gained traction with the neoliberal trans-
formation of capitalism.

<p><span style="font-size:11.000000pt;font-family:'AGaramond'">If this claim is true, it follows that there are far-reaching changes to state
structures, the international state system, and the trajectory of social conflicts
and struggles. Alterations in class relations are specifically important because
they lead to new configurations of relations of forces</span><span style="font-size:6.000000pt;font-family:'AGaramond';vertical-align:3.000000pt">1 </span><span style="font-size:11.000000pt;font-family:'AGaramond'">and power apparatuses,
and, in a second step, to new arrangements of domination and regulation.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.000000pt;font-family:'AGaramond'">The aim of this article is to review the approaches in question critically.
We assume that existing theories of transnational class formation are charac-
terized by significant weaknesses, both in terms of basic class and state
theoretical assumptions and in terms of accounting for the role of state
apparatuses in class formation.... </span></p>
