Hegemony and Counter-Hegemony

Geopolitical Dialogue at the Current Time Threshold

Abstract

Objective: to describe the nature of the global political momentum, identify the
strategies deployed in the last decade and those currently being used in the constant
race for identification, social majority’s organization and dispute over power. In
addition, construe the characteristics of the current political struggle and finally, to
consider the geopolitical implications of the decline of United States’ hegemony and the counter-hegemonic potential of China.

Methodology: the study employed qualitative methods such as explanatory, historical-critical and interpretive: historical tracking of processes, analysis of context, context and social change, contemporary archeology of Colombian and global political practices and observation and interpretation of national and international discourse. To achieve the above, investigation, organization and analysis of academic and research documentation on the field of study and consultation of secondary sources were made. We also identified authors, focus areas, categories,
publications and trends concerning the research problem.

Results: the analysis of available literature and the contrasting of opposing political theories show the existence of an economic and political impasse.

Conclusions: China, and its unique class positioning, can offer resolution to this impasse and key leads of universal importance.
