A 'new imperialism' may be developing in global capitalism. The end of the British Empire and the transition to the North American Empire came as Asia and Africa were decolonized. These are heterogeneous forms of Empire, visible under the variation and instability of North American imperial conceptions. Capitalist imperialism is a contradictory fusion between ‘State and Empire policy’ and ‘molecular processes of capital accumulation in space and time’. In this way, capitalist imperialism is defined by the territorial logic and the capitalist logic of power. The powers (territorial and capitalist) are distinguished, but are intertwined by the empire.

i see, would you mind putting it as one?
