The striking thesis of Empire is that the globalization and informatization of world markets since the late 1960s have led to a progressive decline in the sovereignty of nation-states and the emergence of a new form of sovereignty, composed of a series of national and supranational organisms united under a single logic of rule. This new global form of sovereignty is what the authors call Empire. This shift represents "the real subsumption of social existence by capital." He calls for autonomous constitutive resistance epitomyzed by the Wobblies.
