Abstract
The study examines the reconstruction of hegemony by evaluating the concept of hegemony ontologically and evaluating it against economic fragility, and it was evaluated in the context of economic pressure of hegemony by addressing the 2008 economic crisis, one of the three major crises in US history. The main problem discussed in this article is that when the economic crisis was first addressed, the effects that occurred in the short term were observed by characterizing them from introversion and military involvement. In this context, it is seen that the correlation between the economy, which maintains its superiority despite the effects of the economic crisis, and military power is considered from a realistic point of view. Dec. Considering such a situation, it is an attitude that removes its own negative benefits from a protectionist approach with interventionism. Why does the hegemonic state not want to use it, it has the power to assert its superiority by using a military method, that is, brute force. To find the answer to this question, first of all, according to Cox, which features of the hegemony, especially American hegemony, are activated and how it uses protectionism along with interventionism, the consent of the hegemony comes before coercion. In hegemonic relations, similarities were observed between the negative feelings and interests of power holders and the interests of other world states. Dec. Hegemony benefits from the ability to maintain one's superiority, strengthen one's leadership position, and ultimately use persuasive elements to protect one's interests. In this case, other actors of the hegemonic system can influence the system by using slightly less economic and military resources. Because the effect of hegemonic power is mentioned using the basic harmony of hegemonic common values and interests.
