Empire talks to Christopher Hitchens about Henry Kissinger and his life beyond  elected power - it does not seem to have changed that much. \n\nIs the world suffering from a global governance gap? Should we be  worried that the superclass seems to have an ever-expanding reach that  bypasses governments and remains unchecked? \nEmpire finds out. \n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>imp\u00e9rio, poder, globaliza\u00e7\u00e3o Empire \u2013 Superclass Published on Thursday, July 29, 2010 by Empire with Marwan Bishara on Al-Jazeera<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[91,78],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-339","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-imperio_poder_globalizacao","category-ovideo"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/imediata.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/339","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/imediata.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/imediata.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imediata.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imediata.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=339"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/imediata.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/339\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":346,"href":"https:\/\/imediata.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/339\/revisions\/346"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/imediata.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=339"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imediata.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=339"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imediata.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=339"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
