Description

Empire by Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri is a bold work that explores the new political order of globalization. The authors contend that this emerging Empire is fundamentally different from traditional imperialism, drawing on elements of U.S. constitutionalism and postmodern society. Hardt and Negri argue that the power of transnational corporations and postindustrial forms of labor and production help define the new imperial global order. They also examine how cultural and economic changes in postmodern society shape our understanding of concepts such as sovereignty, nation, and people. This book is an unabashedly utopian work of political philosophy, seeking an alternative political paradigm for a truly democratic global society. By looking beyond the regimes of exploitation and control that characterize today's world order, Empire offers a new perspective on the nature of power and politics in the modern era.
