La hegemonía es un concepto que tiene que ver con la primacía en la posesión de capacidades materiales, pero también en la habilidad para establecer un orden internacional favorable. En la era westfaliana sólo dos Estados han sido considerados como hegemones: Gran Bretaña y Estados Unidos. El primero se planteó como una hegemonía centrada en sus capacidades materiales alentadas por el dominio de las rutas comerciales, un poderío naval indiscutible, el progreso de su revolución industrial, la destreza para mantener el equilibrio entre las grandes potencias de la época y el interés de ejercer un papel relevante en el futuro de la humanidad; mientras que el segundo desarrolló un orden hegemónico basado no sólo en sus capacidades materiales, sino en la aquiescencia del resto de la comunidad internacional motivada por la práctica del multilateralismo, ambos con el entendimiento de la relevancia de la aplicación de una visión social del poder. Abstract:Hegemony is a concept related to the primacy on ownership of material capabilities, but also the ability to establish a liable international order. In the so called “Westphalian age” only two states have been considered hegemonic: the United Kingdom and the United States of America. The first one, was conceived as hegemony centered in its material capabilities encouraged by dominance of trade routes, an undisputed naval power, the progress of its industrial revolution, the skills to keep balance between great imperial powers during nineteenth century; the second one developed an hegemonic order based not only in the material capabilities, but also in the acquiescence of international community driven by the multilateralism practice, both states with an understanding of relevance in the application of a social vision of power.Downloads
