Hegemonism

Jump to navigation Jump to search

Hegemonism is an authoritarian, ultranationalist ideology with its genesis in 16th Century Aurora. Its core tenants derive from a belief in the Struggle for Primacy, a concept which it applies to the reality of International Relations through a Realistic theoretical lens. On the national scale, Hegemonism abhors liberal democracy and the parliamentary system,considering them to be “inherently false mechanisms of sovereignty”. In their place it favors organic representation and leadership through strenght as inherent tools of political power. On the international scale, it applies these same concepts in the belief that the prime prerogative of all nations (as defined by the fundamental cohesive element of culture) is securing an ever-stronger position of Hegemony over others through the coercive mechanisms of territorial expansion, economic control, and cultural superiority.
