Empire is a major work of political philosophy by Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri. The authors argue that imperialism as we knew it has been replaced by a new global order, which they call 'Empire'. This emerging structure is a universal order that accepts no boundaries or limits, differing fundamentally from European imperialism. The book explores radical changes in concepts of sovereignty, nation, and people, while analyzing the cultural and economic shifts of postmodern society, including new systems of communication and control.

Antonio Negri (1881–1966) was an Italian poet, best known for his works in Milanese language. He began writing in 1931, after retiring from work and relocating to Montevecchia, in Brianza, and was later a prolific author. One of his prominent works is On soldaa papà, inspired by On papà soldaa by Giannino Sessa. While both works are based on the theme of a girl whose father dies in World War I, Negri's version is crudely anti-rhetoric and conveys pacifist values that openly contrasted those promoted in Italy by the Fascist regime of the time.
