Future American International Cooperation Strategies and the Uses of Power to Dominate the Unipolar International System

The study aims at providing an overview of America's future international cooperation strategies to promote unipolarity, as well as presenting the most important possible scenarios for the future of the international system. The study also aims to explain the future of employing American power in the international system. The study relied on systemic approach and future studies approach to achieve its goals. The study concluded that the current international system is considered unipolar, but it is not subject to the hegemony of a single country, but rather it is subject to the hegemony of an integrated system, which is the capitalist system expressed and led by the United States of America. The study also concluded that the multipolar system is the international political system that is likely to occur in the future. It will be either consensual or competitive, according to the interactions that may take place among the major powers. It is likely that the actual foreign and national security policy of the United States in the 21st century will include a mix of strategies to protect its role in the international system. The rise of international powers outside the United States has yet to present an alternative to the Western liberal model, both politically and economically, and its impact on shaping the soft power of this model. This reality suggests a certain continuity in the influence of the United States in particular, and Western powers in general, on international political and economic institutions. The study recommends that the United States fulfill its international obligations to members of the international system, assume its global responsibilities, and restore confidence among its allies. If this does not occur, and the U.S. continues with its traditional political approach, it is likely that the structure of international alliances will shift after the COVID-19 crisis in favor of China.
