Many researchers see China as the most likely competitor to balance US power, even to overtake it as an indisputable global power. Some of them, according to the theory of transition, have predicted ...that the United States and China are the two main powers forced to engage in the biggest conflicts of the future. Even recent polls show that most people share the view that China will replace the United States as the world's leading superpower. In this regard, China has become the most quoted nation when it comes to any possible change of the unipolar system structure to a two or multipolar one.The purpose of this study is to analyze whether China has enough capacity to become hegemonic power by challenging the role of the United States. This study provides a tableau of important factors besides those of an economic and military nature that limit the potential of this state to be a global superpower thus challenging American hegemony.Through literature, documentation review and secondary quantitative data produced by other research materials, this study concludes that China continues to be an Asian-continental power without the capacity to project its power across the globe as the United States.
The period of colonial and neo-colonial domination of Anglophone and a bunch of other Western Europe countries is going to its very end. The collapse of Soviet Union by 1990 made possible the ...development of USA hegemony and with Eastward expansion of its military brunch NATO. In spite of human capital of EU it managed to become vassal to US, grace to incompetence and corruption of its leaders. In the modern era, powered by computer revolution, the economic gap between western Caucasian race dominated states and rest of the planet shrinks, and national “Brain Power” of each nation become the driving power for progress, prosperity and obvious for a multi-polar world. Confronted to this new reality, US makes extraordinary efforts to maintain its hegemony and status quo using the entire arsenal of political, economic and military assets, with disdain for morality or fairness for effectiveness reasons. In contradiction to a reasonable approach of the problem, understanding the roots of the difference in National Brain Power , and take necessary corrections, while integrating in the new world order as a smart power, US under military industrial stake holders pressure, decided to use its military assets, in which it invested $1tn every year, and to push the world towards a path of the and destruction, at the opposite of the path of cooperation and development the new emerging powers are proposing, that for sure is prone to a bd finality, accelerating the decay of the “western civilization capitalist model.
This work illustrates the gender discourse in Lolita fashion. Lolita clothing is a kind of clothing in ancient European style which is adapted by Japanese designers, and Lolita subculture is ...cultivated by mass as a result of its popularity. Most of its enthusiasts are female, thus it will be beneficial to the development of female subculture if the gender discourse signified by Lolita fashion is analyzed thoroughly. Based on Gramsci’s “hegemony” theory, this paper analyzes the male hegemony, female resistance and their “negotiation” in texts about Lolita fashion. They are divided into two categories, one is ideological and related to man’s gaze, another is economic and related to division of labor between sexes. It is concluded that Lolita fashion or subculture is a field of “negotiation” between male chauvinism and female resistance. These two discourses tend to compromise with each other, while it is still difficult to tell which one is dominant at present.
Among the systemic analysis of American national power, its hegemony over trade has long been categorized as a "low politics" topic. The conventional systemic approach is increasingly challenged by ...the perspective of power. For these reasons, American hegemony over trade is often treated as a tool or a carrier of American hegemony over economics or finance, and it is seldom treated as a source and objective of American national power, not to mention any specialized research targeting its inherent logic just for trade's sake. By drawing on the perspective of power and with the help of Albert Otto Hirschman research on the nexus between international trade and national power, this article intends to 1) identify the most distinguish characteristics of American hegemony over trade; 2) construct a theoretical framework composed of market logic and state logic according to the characteristics found previously; 3) provide a new explanation for the establishment and operation of American hegemony over trade.
This book examines the concept of regional power in international relations. Using the emerging powers of India and South Africa as the case studies, it explores how regional powers simultaneously ...differ and share common features.
The book develops a method to classify and evaluate different types of regional powers and applies this typology to contemporary case studies of India and South Africa. Regional power is often expected to have a positive influence on region-specific problems of conflict, economic deprivation and political instability. In reality, an 'achievement-expectations gap' can be seen in many regional powers, which can be analysed and understood through observable variation in regional power. The author discovers that in addition to the management of the internal regional order, regional powers have to establish individuality whilst fitting into the global international environment, altering both regional dynamics and creating variance in the level of control within the region. Elucidating concepts and definitions, this book is an accessible and in-depth study that both introduces key concepts and provides a framework for the future study of regional power in international relations.
Redefining Regional Power in International Relations will be of interest to students and scholars of regionalism and international relations.
The following article seeks to open the possibility of thinking the reality of the Colombian conflict from new conceptual categories, specifically those put forth by Giorgio Agamben, not necessarily ...to force the facts into the theory, but to open new possibilities of understanding the human tragedy that Colombia has lived (and continues to live) in terms of human loss (death policies), of lack of conditions to live a dignified life and of an existence that is zoé (barely existence, stripped from dignity) rather than bios (life in political community). The text further proposes the question of whether the Colombian State has become an everlasting State of Emergency that employs it as a normal mode of establishing social and political hegemony
This article analyzes the invention of a "Paulista tradition" in the literary universe of Sao Paulo and its reproduction on the basis of new narrators, in the sports pages of bandeirante press, in ...defense of the superiority of Sao Paulo over the Rio de Janeiro in the development of football in Brazil. Hegemony mentioned in the sports pages of Piratininga, because of the first football matches involving the Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro selected by promoting a pulsating regional rivalry that so marked the early years of football in the two capitals. Keywords: History; Football; Sports Press; Sao Paulo. Segundo Maria Isaura Pereira de Queiroz, nao se pode perder de vista que, naquele jogo de poder, o passado paulistano era determinado pelos interesses políticos do presente, na crescente Cidade de Sao Paulo de Piratininga, de homens como Pedro Taques que, por aspirar ao cargo de vereador, concentrava-se na genealogia dos "homens bons", de sangue limpo e profissoes dignas, que legitimavam sua entäo candidatura ao cargo. Sao Paulo, n. 13, p. 78-87, mar-abr-mai 1992. Revista USP, Sao Paulo, n. 65, mar/mai 2005.
There is a fitting personal aspect to this commentary as it allows me to take up once more the threads of a conversation with Tony Allan from some 25 years ago, when we were colleagues at SOAS. The ...phrase "sanctioned discourse" came up in that conversation, but the setting probably did not allow for greater elaboration at the time. Sanctioned is one of those curious words that has two, in some respects opposing, senses or at least connotations.
