One of the current issues in international relations is the hegemonic position of the United States of America (USA). After the collapse of the Soviet Union (USSR) and the transformation of the bipolar international system into a unipolar USA-dominated system, the sustainability of the US hegemony has been an important topic of discussion. China, especially in the 21st century, has been trying to establish its own international system by acting on behalf of its own interests in certain issues rather than consenting to the institutions and rules of the Pax Americana, which were created after the Cold War.
The USA, which has based its foreign policy largely on maintaining its global hegemony, is experiencing competition with today’s China, similar to the competition it had with the USSR in the past. Although the US power declines relatively with the power transformation in the 21st century as China’s rises, many policymakers, and international relations academics share the view that it will take a long time to end the global US hegemony due to the economic, military, and technological superiorities.
Nevertheless, the rise of China would stay as the most important issue of US foreign policy in the coming years. With an extensive look at the literature, this study compares the US and China using the hard and soft power instruments of hegemony. Keeping in mind that no hegemonic order will last forever, the views on the current ‘power shift’, where the structural changes will lead to American hegemony, and whether the US is in a hegemonic decline are also analyzed.
