Neoconservatism and U.S. Hegemony

Undrestanding U.S. behaivor in international arena depends on identifinig the foundations of American hegemony. According to the theoritical framework of this paper, U.S. hegemony has three bases: "material power", "will and decision to become a hegemonic power" and "an ideology for making global legitimacy for hegemon". They constitute three conditions of U.S. hegemony, which are "necessary", "sufficient" and "sustainability". This paper will show that neo-conservatists have planned and followed a new phase of U.S. hegemony. This new hegemony depends highly on material (military) base of hegemony rather than legitimate global ideology and consensus. This neoconservative version of U.S. hegemony diverted Anmerican hegemony to American empire and weakend sustainability condition of US hegemony.
