Hegemony & Empire

Harvard cyber-law professor, James Moore, outlines the case for multitudinous emergent democracy in opposition to US hegemony; inspired, he dubs the movement The Second Superpower.
The point of the paper is that “the movement” is now approaching the status of “the second superpower,” after the United States. This is due to (1) critical mass of people who identify with the world rather than the nation, with each other rather than just themselves, (2) the web and interactive media “neurology” of the movement—including texting, email lists, and blogging—which is giving it a kind of collective mind and ability to act, and (3) the advance of international institutions and international law, which provides a venue or a forum in which the second superpower can work with sympathetic nations to press its cause. The Bush administration is attacking the fabric of the international system, but it is unlikely to prevail. Shades of Empire?"
