Hegemonic Globalisation: U.S. Centrality and Global Strategy in the Emerging World Order

This work analyzes how the US has laid down the foundations for global power. It reassesses and re-evaluates the declinist-renewal argument and challenges conventional balance of power theories, demonstrating how the United States is attempting to "hegemonically globalize" the entire international system. To evaluate the success of hegemonic globalization, the book analyzes the four major powers and regions: Russia; the People's Republic of China (PRC); the European Union (EU); and Japan, and their historical, political, economic, cultural and geopolitical relations with the United States. Each study examines the tangible and intangible sources of their relationship, and the possible tensions and resistance towards United States hegemony therein.
