Negri's "Empire"

Antonio Negri's "Empire" describes a new form of global power that replaces traditional nation-states. Instead of a central authority, power is decentralized and spread across international networks, corporations, and media. This "Empire" operates through interconnected systems that influence economic, political, and cultural life worldwide, often bypassing democratic control. It fosters a condition where authority is diffuse, making resistance more complex. Negri argues that this shift necessitates new forms of collective action and thought to challenge and reshape this emerging global structure.
