Volume 14 No. 1 (June 2019) (“From Globalization to Empire: Essays from the CPE Working Group on Empire”)

This issue presents work of the Coalition for Peace and Ethics Working Group on Empire.  The focus is on the development of new theories of empire that may be emerging within the political theories of the United States and China.  This issue focuses on the development of notions of empire applied to the strategies and discursive tropes of the US and China in the context of their trade negotiations that became quite dynamic after May 2019 when negotiations reached an impasse. The members of the CPE Working Group on Empire are Larry Catá Backer and Flora Sapio.
