N2  - "The book brings into sharp relief the nature of today's new capitalist empire, in which the political reach of imperial power cannot match its economic hegemony, and the global economy is administered not by a global state but by a system of multiple local states, policed by the most disproportionately powerful military force the world has ever known and enforced according to a new military doctorine of war without end, in purpose or time."--Jacket; "The book brings into sharp relief the nature of today's new capitalist empire, in which the political reach of imperial power cannot match its economic hegemony, and the global economy is administered not by a global state but by a system of multiple local states, policed by the most disproportionately powerful military force the world has ever known and enforced according to a new military doctorine of war without end, in purpose or time."--BOOK JACKET; In this era of 'globalization', we hear about a 'new imperialism', the hegemony of global capital and its chief enforcer, the US. Today, with the US promising a war against terrorism, this notion seems more plausible than ever, but what does imperialism mean in the absence of colonial conquest?
