| Summary: | Theprimary objective of this article is to present an up-to-date and analyticallyvalid conception of contemporary international politics by mainly drawing onthe seminal work of Hardt and Negri (2000) called Empire. In line with thisobjective, this study argues that Empire, as a theoretical framework, providesa more comprehensive analysis of today’s globalising world. However, rather than explaining the constitution of Empirein mainly juridical and political terms, as Hardt and Negri did, this studyaims to present a slightly different reading of the conception of Empire byassociating the matter with the transnationalization of capital, state andsocial relations of production widely labelled as globalization. To that end, the article puts the conception of Empireinto a more concrete economic context by placing particular emphasis on factorssuch as capital accumulation process, class formation and state-capitalrelations as understood in the theory of Global Capitalism. |
