EMPIRE AND IMPERIALISM: A CRITICAL READING OF MICHAEL HARDT AND ANTONIO NEGRI; TRANS. BY JESSICA CASIRO

In 2001 Harvard Unversity Press published a post-modern analysis of imperialism by the Harvard scholar Michael Hardt and the independent Italian left-wing intellectual Toni Negri. The book, Empire , quickly became a huge bestseller in the US. Many other left-wing intellectuals, however, have been deeply disturbed by the book, feeling that it is analytically deeply misconceived, has unfortunate implications for political resistance to imperialism, and that it ignores both the experience and intellectual analysis of thinkers from the South. Atilio Boron is one of those. He argues that Hardt and Negri's concept of 'imperialism without an address', though well intentioned, ignores most of the fundamental parameters of imperialism. The nation state, far from weakening, remains a crucial agent of capitalism, deploying a large arsenal of economic weaponry to protect and extend its position and actively promoting globalization in its own interests.

boron (political Theory, U. Of Buenos Aires) Takes On The Conventional Wisdom About The Emerging World Order And The Notion That Developing Countries Will Serve As Partners In Progress. In His Opinion, Contrary To Those Of Hardt And Negri, Old-fashioned Imperialism Persists. The Idea Of The Nation-state, Boron Warns, Does Not Wither Any More Than Totalitarian Capitalism Withers Under Globalism. Distributed By Palgrave Macmillan.

L'impérialisme d'aujourd'hui n'est pas le même qu'il y a trente ans. Il a changé mais il ne s'est pas transformé en son contraire, malgré la mystification néo-libérale qui affirme qu'il a fait place à une économie globale où nous serions tous " interdépendants". L'auteur avance qu'en dépit des changements, l'impérialisme conserve son identité et sa structure et il précise son désaccord avec l'oeuvre des philosophes Hardt et Negri, notamment à partir du livre "Empire".
