Beyond Hegemony: How the Americas Hold the Key to U.S. Strategic Survival in a Multipolar Era.
Horacio J. Téllez O., PhD
The unipolar moment has ended. Power in the twenty-first century is no longer concentrated in a single center but distributed across multiple regions, systems, and strategic ecosystems. In this environment, the principal challenge facing the United States is not external competition alone, but the persistence of outdated strategic reflexes short-termism, fragmentation, and the assumption that dominance can substitute for architecture.
Beyond Hegemony advances a pragmatic and structurally conservative thesis: in a multipolar world, long-term stability belongs to continents capable of organizing themselves. For the United States, strategic survival is inseparable from the coherence, resilience, and autonomy of the Western Hemisphere. America cannot remain an island of order surrounded by instability. Its future depends on transforming the Americas into a functional continental system.
