“…This conception of Hegemony takes the standpoint that Hegemony is not simply an international relations vehicle to achieve foreign policy objectives (Dirzauskaite and Ilinca, 2017), but is more akin to an Imperial Empire (David and Grondin, 2006;Dorrien, 2005) in look, feel, and reach. It is not enough to simply coerce a state government to bend to your will, as that is where you get resistance from the people, insurrections, civil war, and potentially a new state, or a new government.…”

“…There are companies that also profit from the aftermath of war, such as Halliburton or Boeing. These development and reconstruction contracts can be worth billions of dollars, especially as protracted wars usually leave a lot of destruction in their wake (Dorrien, 2005). Many of the war profiteers are also neoliberal and they believe in the free market economy and that American businesses should be free to conduct their business anywhere in the world (Kinzer, 2007).…”

“…This Pax Americana is anything but peaceful. However, as a country born of war and an offensive belligerent, who is to say that this is not exactly what U.S. hegemony is meant to do: cause instability and more importantly insecurity (Dorrien, 2005;Dunne, 2000). Instability and insecurity are the bedfellows of fear, and fear sells in both the political and the economical sense.…”

The concept of hegemony has been a mainstay in academic discourse since Greek writers coined the term during the conflicts between city states in ancient times. However, it was not until Antonio Gramsci produced his unfinished, seminal work, the Prison Notebooks, that the concept became a topic of intense discussion in the political sphere. Hegemony has been applied to the international global system relatively unchanged from Gramsci's social application of the concept. Whilst the underlying principles of Gramsci's conception can be applied in international relations without issue, some aspects are not so forthcoming. It is the intention of this paper to attempt to fill the void in international relations theory and provide a succinct and robust re-conception of Hegemony, how to attain it and maintain it. There will be no reinvention of the wheel; Hegemony will still mean dominance over all. Only now there will be a specific conception that can be applied to the current globalized liberal system. The Four Waves of Hegemony are presented here as an alternative to the current conception. Whilst there are inherent limitations mainly being the scope and size of the work presented, these are addressed and signposted for further research.

“…51 He believed that when people suffer ''because of politics and economics, Christian ethics had to deal with politics and economics.'' 52 Politics for Niebuhr was always ''a realm of impure motives, and Niebuhr's Moral Man and Immoral Society preached a spectacular deflationary kind of progressivism.'' 53 Niebuhr's Moral Man and Immoral Society was ahead of its time.…”

American philosopher John Dewey (1859–1953) wanted to change the way we understand the world. Born just prior to our Civil War, Dewey is a telling figure as the authority of a premodern day gave way to the progressive promise of modernity. In this regard, Dewey's family, church, college, academic, and peer relationships are considered. The article notes the “new” pedagogy of the Laboratory School (founded by Dewey and his wife at the University of Chicago in 1894), his early Christian years, and attraction to and struggle with evolutionary science's rational approach to experience. That struggle culminated with Dewey's rejection of theistic philosophical arguments and a withdrawal from the institutional church on his family's arrival in Chicago. We see how an administrative argument over the leadership of the Laboratory School took him to New York City and Columbia (1904). By this time he was acknowledged as a founder of the Progressive and Pragmatist movements. A self-described liberal humanist, he continued his involvement with social reform and the national politics of his day. A public argument as to the reality of God led Dewey to repackage religious faith as the possibility of a nation's scientific embrace of thoughtful, well-educated, participatory democracy. His resulting book, A Common Faith (1934), is considered. How his peer, Reinhold Niebuhr, might differ serves here as a contrast to Dewey's understanding.
