Empires

"Empires are more than major states, and they move within a world of their own. As for states, they are included in a system that they formulated with other states, and therefore they cannot be controlled by empires alone On the contrary, she understands herself as the creator and guarantor of a system that will not be stable without her. It must defend it against the outbreak of chaos that represents a constant threat to it and take a closer look at history, not only the history of the United States of America, but the history of other empires as well. It shows us that the use of linguistic expressions such as "axis of evil" or "outposts of tyranny "It is not new or special, but it runs through the history of empires like a continuous red thread.
This book is therefore about patterns of imperial sovereignty, forms of expansion and stability, and about the global media in which and through which empire is achieved. The cognitive interest here will not be limited to the distinction between maritime and land empires, and commercial and military empires, among the imperial systems that are developing The control of regions and those that are essentially based on controlling flows (humans, goods, capital), but all of this will go beyond the rationality of the forces And to the logic of universal sovereignty.
