Empire time has passed, but the idea has remained. As a regulatory principle of the unification of tribes and nations, the imperial idea is a manifestation of the principle of "pure" power as a hierarchically established order. The necessity of such an order is present at all stages of social development, but only in a certain era it dominates among other social forces, "forcing" people to co-exist, forming a world-empire (imperial canon). Already world-economics pushes the imperial idea to the background, and the modern "knowledge economy" establishes a special regime of depersonalized power-knowledge. imperial idea historically changes the way of influence in the sequence: coercion-persuasion-attraction. The current situation is largely determined by the contradiction of the logic of the assembly of social agents followed by the international centers of power-knowledge, stimulating all kinds of mobility, on the one hand, and the states that are going into the past era, with their characteristic biopolitics and the defense of their territorial sovereignty – on the other. The article offers a methodology for understanding the modern post-imperial situation, based on a world-system approach, in which the interpretation of four cases is given: Pax Romana, Pax Britannica, Pax Rossica, Pax Americana.
