"İmparatorluk", M. Hardt & A. Negri
Ayrıntı Yayınları, 2001
Çeviri: Abdullah Yılmaz
"Ulus-devletlere dayalı çağ sona erdi. Sermaye küresel çapta önüne çıkan her engeli yıkıyor; Seattle’dan Cenova’ya uzanan isyan dalgasına rağmen, muhalefet güçleri zayıf; karamsarlık iliklere işlemiş durumda. Mevcut durumu açıklamakta emperyalizm kavramı yetersiz kalıyor; yeryüzünü ele geçirmekte olan merkezsiz ve topraksız egemenlik aygıtını Hardt ve Negri, İmparatorluk diye adlandırıyor."

"Empire", Michael Hardt & Antonio Negri
Harvard University Press, September 2001
"More than analysis, Empire is also an unabashedly utopian work of political philosophy, a new Communist Manifesto. Looking beyond the regimes of exploitation and control that characterize today’s world order, it seeks an alternative political paradigm—the basis for a truly democratic global society."
"Çokluk", M. Hardt & A. Negri
Ayrıntı Yayınları, 2004
Çeviri: Barış Yıldırım
"Çokluk da emperyal egemenliğin elinden sürekli kayar, çünkü siyasal bir yapının doktriner, hiyerarşik ve disipliner organlarına tamamen hapsedilemez. Tarihte ilk kez mutlak demokrasi olanaklı hale geldi, her tür egemenlik biçimini yok etmek mümkün artık. Bu olanağı gerçekleştirmekse çokluğun projesi..."

"Multitude, War and Democracy in the Age of Empire", Michael Hardt & Antonio Negri
Penguin, 2005
In their international bestseller Empire, Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri presented a grand unified vision of a world in which the old forms of imperialism are no longer effective. But what of Empire in an age of “American empire”? Has fear become our permanent condition and democracy an impossible dream? Such pessimism is profoundly mistaken, the authors argue. Empire, by interconnecting more areas of life, is actually creating the possibility for a new kind of democracy, allowing different groups to form a multitude, with the power to forge a democratic alternative to the present world order. Exhilarating in its optimism and depth of insight, Multitude consolidates Hardt and Negri’s stature as two of the most important political philosophers at work in the world today.
