Towards a Broader Theory of Imperialism
In a major contribution to the on-going debate on imperialism, Patrick
Bond argues that an explanation of imperialist political-economy and
geopolitics must incorporate subimperialisms. John Smith’s old-fashioned
binary of North/South prevents him from fully engaging with David
Harvey’s overall concern about uneven geographical development

Also just out, a view of the bible from Johannesburg:

The Unfinished System of Karl Marx pp 299-330
Capital, Volume III—Gaps Seen from South Africa: Marx’s Crisis Theory,
Luxemburg’s Capitalist/Non-capitalist Relations and Harvey’s Seventeen
Contradictions of Capitalism

Comrades, hi,
There's another frustrating input in the Smith-Harvey debate over at
the Review of African Political Economy website: "Dissolving Empire:
David Harvey, John Smith, and the Migrant"

"Does this mean that China in economic, cultural, social, or military
terms has reached the status of an imperialist power?," asks Adam
Mayer, who studies Marxism in Nigeria.
Wrong question, hence wrong formulation of the terrain of debate, and
wrong answer...
I think the question should be, instead, "aren't China and other BRICS
countries slotting into global imperialism as *subimperial* allies, in
relation to the accumulation of capital, the super-exploitation of
labour, species-threatening ecological destruction and global
malgovernance?"
The answer is "Yes!" And there, in the next post, I argue, the problem
is immense. (My post ended up drawling on for 8300 words so if anyone
wants it, let me know. It'll be online next Monday.)
