American establishment: It is an ugly imperialism without an emperor
The makers of the first US constitutional state, which was founded in revolt against British colonialism, balanced popular sovereignty against the rule of law. This framework required carefully constructed rules about the conduct of representation and the limits of government intervention.
SRI LANKA GUARDIAN A LONG READING
( July 17, 2018, Dhaka, Sri Lanka Guardian) One may identify the current moment as a critical one for US hegemony, with a possibly decisive shift toward reliance on empire as the key characteristic of emerging US government geopolitical reasoning of looting wealth of other countries and posing threat to be supreme over the present world order. One limitation of this strategy, however, is that the institutions and mores of US marketplace society do not readily support the imperial mantle. US hegemony, it is crucial to point out, is not congenial to a reinstatement of an explicitly territorial empire. It has created a new geography of power associated with the term globalisation. Therefore, by way of judgment, one should emphasise the likelihood that empire will fail and, as a result, globalisation will become increasingly free of an independent US hegemony to be regulated by a complex of markets, states, and global institutions rather than by a single hegemon with the passage of time. And that time is not very far.
