Hegemony vs fragmentation: New powers, elites, alliances

The hegemony of the United States on political views is past already although its ability to enforce its policies in finance, military and media on other countries continues. This decline is partly a result of the world fragmenting politically even as it is consolidating its capacity to monitor and deliver goods and information.

Germany, Japan, the European Union and even US corporations won’t anymore follow the US decoupling uncritically, but some countries such as the United Kingdom or Australia or some of our politicians still will.
