As conflict continues in the Middle East, the world faces an uncertain economic future and a new US president is sworn in, Al Jazeera launches a new series that will question global powers and their agendas.
Be they state, corporate, military or economic the Empire team, headed by Marwan Bishara, Al Jazeera’s senior political analyst, will analyse these giants and how they strive to dominate everything from international security and finance to communications and the news itself.
