This book explores how imperialism has been evolving in the
neoliberal era, with the aim of providing a systematic and
integrative understanding of the inner dynamics and vulnerabilities
of the contemporary imperialist system. Asking how it has been
possible to sustain an imperialist system that fails to address the
problems of unemployment, declining standards of living and
globalizing conflicts, the author draws upon theoretical and
empirical contributions from the current literature to further
recent efforts at re-conceptualizing imperialism under the
conditions of neoliberal globalization and advances a critique of
the school of transnationalism in global political economy. The
author puts forward that contemporary imperialism rests on a
triangular structure composed of (a) economic imperialism, which is
driven by a neoliberal logic of maximizing monopoly profits at
massive societal costs; (b) military imperialism, which is shaped
by the neoliberal transformation of the US military-industrial
complex with the rise of private armies, the globalization of
narcocapitalism, and the weaponization of Islamist terrorism and
ethno-religious divides; and (c) cultural imperialism, which is led
by the media- and nonprofit-corporate complexes, having weaponized
the media and civil society in manufacturing popular consent. The
book's arguments are also extended to the current challenges of
imperialism embodied in the rise of the BRICS, post-hegemonic forms
of regional cooperation, and global popular resistance. As such, it
will appeal to scholars of politics and sociology with interests in
globalization, imperialism, capitalism, and global power.
