American Hegemony through its Neoliberal Global Order Project

Abstract

In light of recent global developments with the advent of Trump 2, marked by a resurgence of economic nationalism and protectionism, many presage the end of American hegemony and, subsequently, its neoliberal order. This paper argues that, despite apparent crisis, the American neoliberal order project is far from disappearing. It is, in fact, being restrengthened and revived through a sort of “chaos strategy” whose end objective is to preserve and maintain American global power.  

Among other issues, this paper offers a critical look at the past and present of Neoliberalism. Characterized by its resilience and its ability to adapt itself despite existential crises, Neoliberalism is far from being dead as some believe. The rise and progress of nationalist trends may cause crises which are inherent to any dominant political and economic theory but which may also be a revival and repositionning opportunity.
