THE SPATIAL DYNAMICS OF IMPERIALISM IN THE 21ST CENTURY

Abstract

The current article aims to speculate about the singularities of contemporary imperialism. The imperialism recrudesced its expropriating and prodigal capacity, through the shaping of an imperialistic system in a worldwide scale, which intercrosses the interests of several capitals located in distinct social formations. The fi nancial capital’s hegemonic reach and dissemination of its parasitical face, the fi ctitious capital, appealed the interpenetration of purposes in a worldwide scale among corporations headquartered in myriad Countries and States. Under new conditions wherein is outlined capital’s accumulation process, is ascertained the (re) signifi cance of its operation’s scale. Capitalism continues to rely on the local scale for the appreciation of capital, production/accomplishment of Surplus value through exploited work, however, the accumulation process, is disengaged from the local scale, forging a process of (fi ctitious) profi ts’ admeasurements that consumes itself in a worldwide scale. In as much as, the production purely abstract of wealth (re) signified the spatial production, for as much as, even being indispensable the subordination of absolute space -whereas relative – for the surplus value’s production continuity of, such absolute space scribes itself in a plot much more complex than erstwhile, once its destiny is released in other scale.
