Hardt & Negri

Hardt and Negri are political theorists who analyze global power dynamics and social change. They argue that traditional nation-states hold less control over economic and cultural flows, which increasingly circulate through interconnected networks—like digital platforms and international markets. They introduce the concept of "Empire," a decentralized, global authority that manages these networks without a central ruler. Their work emphasizes the potential for collective action and shared power outside traditional structures, highlighting how people can participate in creating new forms of social cooperation and resistance within this interconnected world.
