The U.S. Strategy for Maintaining International Hegemony

Abstract

Technological advancements, coupled with the economic rise of some countries like China, have led to a shift in the international system towards multipolarity. This has made it more difficult for dominant powers to prevent the emergence of any rival forces by increasing military spending and supporting innovation. The United States, which seeks to maintain its dominance in the international system, achieves this through a combination of economic, military, and cultural power, scientific advancement, and international alliances, such as those with the European Union and Middle Eastern (Gulf) states, which possess significant energy reserves. American strategy focuses on preserving these relationships. The rise of some countries has resulted in a multipolar international system led by the United States.
