About this document
Understanding Hegemonic War Theory by Brian Gara is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses different theoretical approaches to the concept of hegemony. Realists define hegemony as overwhelming material power that allows a state to dominate others. However, simply equating hegemony with power is problematic. Realists also tend to conflate hegemony with unipolarity, though some scholars see them as distinct concepts. The realist variant of hegemonic stability theory argues that preponderant power plus leadership are required for hegemony.
