Great Power Hegemony

Name Sayed Jamaluddin Firozi, St no 1B1019 bully military force hegemony There is a head t apieceer that which organisation (empire, eternal rest of exponent, concert of male monarch or great power hegemony) provides the best conditions for progress peace, successfulness and civilization? There are several(prenominal) opinions about the advantages and disadvantages of each agreement and the functions, abilities and disabilities of them to maintaining the peace and stability in inter interior(a)istic arena.But I want to argue on hegemonic power system as a preventer of fight among give tongue tos and a maintainer of peace as comparison to other suggested types of system for advancing peace, stability and civilization in all over the terra firma. Hegemonic power system is the best system for advancing peace, prosperity and preventing war among states comparing to other types of systems much(prenominal) as empire, ease of power, and concert of power.In this paper I go fo rth argue that as history of international relations stage most wars and conflicts among states occurred in a lack of a hegemonic power because a hegemonic power try to human activity as a policeman and dont let the states to skip war. If war happens mostly the super power will enter the war to stop it because the hegemonic power does see itself as a policeman to grant the right to intervene. So, hegemonic power is good for making peace and stability in the sphere.There are many reasons that great power hegemony system could be the best option for developing peace and preventing the war. It is clear that two world wars happened in the absence of a great hegemonic power. For example if in the 1910s there was great power hegemony the First World War may did not happen. In addition, hegemonic power system naturally supports its allies and dont want to go just for its own interest but as well as look for others as well.In contrast in balance of power each actor in the system tr y to pursue its national interests and want to increase the power in terms of military or other resources. Furthermore, great power hegemony can be very instrumental in cooperation among states, because the hegemonic power bear the most cost of transaction in the system. For example USA as a hegemonic state pays the 22 pct regular expenditure of United Nation and 25 percent of the cypher while UN goes for peacekeeping operations nearly the world.On the other hand, the system of balance of power doesnt seem to contribute the cooperation among states but in contrast it pushes the states to go for a competition and armament race because each state in the system will increase its capabilities to make the balance in the system. Eventually this competition will lead nation state to build its arm forces. However, there are some arguments about the impuissance of hegemonic power to prevent states from going to war. They argue that hegemonic power has its own limitations in term of intern al and external barriers to go as policeman around the world.This arguments see very good and logic. But they dont have got any proposal that which system could be the best to make the world more peaceful and prosperous. So, despite these points of view the other types of system such as balance of power or concert of power in all probability arent good replacement for great power hegemony system to be succeeded for making peace and stability in the world. So I will try to give more examples from history of international relations to show the other systems (empire and balance of power or concert of power) couldnt make a permanent and peaceful world.But mostly went to war and there was fear of attack from other country in the era of those systems. In conclusion, there might be some suggestion for advancing peace, prosperity and stability within the system of great power hegemony. References 1. Luard, Evan.
