WiSe 14/15: Hegemony and Empire in the "American Century"

Lora Anne Viola

Kommentar

Since the end of World War II the United States has been considered a hegemonic actor in world politics, and some have even argued that the dominant narrative of the 21st century is that of American empire. In this course we will investigate debates about the changing status of American power in the world over the past 70 years. We will critically discuss what we might mean by deploying the terms “hegemony” and “empire.” Is the US an empire? Is it imperialistic? If so, in what policy areas and through which politics? If not, what is it then? Is it a benevolent hegemon? Is the world better or worse off for American power? Dividing the period into four phases, we will analyze the global exercise of American power through the lens of various political theories, including: hegemonic stability theory, power transition theory, Gramscian hegemony, critical and Marxist theories of empire, and feminist/queer theories.
