Great Power Hegemony

Name Sayed Jamaluddin Firozi, St no 1B1019 Great business office hegemony There is a question that which system (empire, balance of business office, concert of world situation or big(p) power hegemony) provides the best conditions for forward tranquility, prosperity and civilization? There are several opinions about the advantages and disadvantages of each system and the functions, abilities and disabilities of them to maintaining the public security and perceptual constancy in international arena.But I want to argue on hegemonic power system as a preventer of war among states and a maintainer of peace as comparison to opposite suggested types of system for advancing peace, stability and civilization in all over the world. Hegemonic power system is the best system for advancing peace, prosperity and preventing war among states comparing to other types of systems such as empire, balance of power, and concert of power.In this paper I will argue that as floor of international r elations show most wars and conflicts among states occurred in a lack of a hegemonic power because a hegemonic power try to act as a policeman and usurpt let the states to start war. If war happens mostly the super power will enter the war to stop it because the hegemonic power does attend to itself as a policeman to bring on the right to intervene. So, hegemonic power is good for making peace and stability in the world.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 physical exertion if in the 1910s there was great power hegemony the First World War may did not happen. In addition, hegemonic power system naturally makes its allies and dont want to go just for its birth interest but also look for others as well.In contrast in balance of power each actor in the system try 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 helpful in cooperation among states, because the hegemonic power bear the most cost of transaction in the system. For example the States as a hegemonic state pays the 22 percent regular expenditure of United Nation and 25 percent of the budget while UN goes for peacekeeping trading operations around 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 emulation and armament race because each state in the system will increase its capabilities to make the balance in the system. Eventually this competition will guide nation state to build its arm forces. However, there are some arguments about the weakness of hegemonic power to prevent states from going to war. They argue that hegemonic power has its own limitations in term of internal and external barriers to go as po liceman around the world.This arguments see very good and logic. But they dont have 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 likely 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 lasting and peaceful world.But mostly went to war and there was fear of attack from other region 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.
