Abstract

Crisis processes experienced in the international system and power gaps that emerged afterwards result in the new hegemonic powers filling that gap. In his work on the Peleponnesian War, Greek Historian Thukididis explains the crises in the history of the whole world when he says “when one power is regressing and fears the competition of another rising power, the roads to wars open up one after the other.” Regardless of the type and extent of the crises, emerging forces are obliged to protect their new areas beyond protecting their own fields. Although these areas differ in the new global system, they have opened new doors at a time when the era of total war is over. Here, in these newly established 'game theories', countries have adopted new theories, while shifting the power struggle to another area. In this study, we will discuss how the European Union tries to establish the balance of power in the world system that is faced with a pandemic crisis and the struggle of European countries to become hegemonic power by using interdependence while integrating into this system.
