"Empire is a thought-provoking analysis of the contemporary economic, cultural, and legal transformations taking place across the globe. It examines the emerging global order that draws on elements of U.S. constitutionalism, with its tradition of hybrid identities and expanding frontiers. The book discusses how this shift in concepts forms the philosophical basis of modern politics and how it's different from the imperialism of European dominance and capitalist expansion in previous eras. It's a must-read for political philosophy enthusiasts seeking an alternative political paradigm for a truly democratic global society."
