Dilemmata der US-amerikanischen Hegemonie

Abstract

Beginning with the contemporary "unipolar situation" the rise and decline of US-American hegemony is discussed. Against misunderstandings and simplifications of the concept of hegemony the approach of the neo-gramscian school of international relations is presented. Using the tools of this approach the internal and external obstacles of USAmerican hegemony and especially the relation between the US and Latin America are analyzed.
