Born in Padua, Italy, 1933. Starting off his academic career as a scholar of political philosophy centering on Marx, Mr. Negri shaped the theoretical foundation for a new social movement known as Autonomia, supported by the socially disadvantaged. As an eminent scholar, he has held teaching positions at University of Padua, École Normale Supérieure, I’Université de Paris VII,VIII, and Collège International de Philosophy. In the widely acclaimed works of Empire and Multitude in co-authorship with Michael Hardt, Mr. Negri grasped the new political global order, which emerged with the acceleration of globalization, as Empire, and reconfigured it as a de-centralized network system of domination, which differs from the sovereignty of traditional nation-states presupposing physical territory and which accepts no boundaries or limits. In so doing, Mr. Negri conceptualized Multitude as the democratic forces and alternative paradigm to resist against the new imperial order and the power of Empire. His major publications include Empire （co-authored with Michael Hardt, Harvard University Press, 2000） and Commonwealth （co-authored with Michael Hardt, Harvard University Press, 2009）
