Abstract

Influential theorists such as David Harvey, William Robinson, Michael Hardt and Toni Negri have denied 
the usefulness of the concept of Imperialism as an analytical category that would characterize the contemporary moment of world capitalism. A detailed analysis shows that these authors ignore fundamental determinants and features of contemporary capitalism, such as the asymmetric relationship between nations, the function of the national State in the global accumulation of capital or the role of international capital rivalry. Given this theoretical panorama, it becomes relevant to examine the theories of imperialism of classic Marxists such as V.I. Lenin, Nicolai Bukharin and Rosa Luxemburg, as well as evaluating the validity of their 
explanatory capacity of capitalism as a world system.
