Empire

by Michael Hardt, Antonio Negri

Imperialism       we knew      may be no more, but Empire      alive         well. It is,       Michael Hardt         Antonio Negri demonstrate      this bold work,        new political order       globalization. It      easy       recognize        contemporary economic, cultural,         legal transformations taking place across        globe but difficult       understand        m. Hardt         Negri contend that        y should be seen      line          our historical understanding       Empire as      universal order that accepts no boundaries or limits. Their book shows how this emerging Empire      fundamentally different from        imperialism       European dominance         capitalist expansion      previous eras. Rather, today’s Empire draws       elements       U.S. constitutionalism,          its tradition       hybrid identities         expanding frontiers.

Empire identifies      radical shift      concepts that form        philosophical basis       modern politics, concepts such       sovereignty, nation,         people. Hardt         Negri link this philosophical transformation       cultural         economic changes      postmodern society–to new forms       racism, new conceptions       identity         difference, new networks       communication         control,         new paths       migration. They also show how        power       transnational corporations and        increasing predominance       postindustrial forms       labor         production help       define        new imperial global order.

More than analysis, Empire      also an unabashedly utopian work       political philosophy,      new Communist Manifesto. Looking beyond        regimes       exploitation         control that characterize today’s world order,      seeks an alternative political paradigm–the basis for      truly democratic global society.
