Hyper-State
Description
Robert Hanna:
"When we combine
(i) the coercive authoritarianism of all States, especiallyincluding all contemporary neoliberal nation-States, with
(ii) global corporate capitalism,
(iii) complicit, conformist, neoliberal universities and their faculties (Maiese and Hanna201 9: ch.4), and with
(iv) globalized digital media, then we have what I will call
“The Hyper-State,”
.. that is, the military-industrial-university-digital complex that nationally, internationally, and globally guides and shapes States and their governments, often more or less covertly and without our being self-consciously critically aware of it."
