Abstract

It has already been hinted in the Introduction that the questions posed by present-day analyses of imperialism and the national state, and indeed the corresponding conceptions of ‘globalization’, are not being raised today for the first time. They had already been introduced, in similar terms despite the different historical circumstances, in the ‘classical’ theories of imperialism (as they are customarily called in the relevant literature), most of which, as is well known, were formulated in the second decade of the twentieth century (in chronological order of their composition: Hilferding (1981) first published in 1909, Luxemburg (1971) in 1912, Bukharin (1972a) in 1915, Lenin in 1916).
