The US Bases and Their Contributions to US Hegemony

Abstract

This study analyzes the perpetuation of US hegemony through its overseas military bases. It takes a Marxist-Gramscist hegemony approach as its theoretical basis and discusses the political processes, ideological debates, security perceptions; economic goals and hegemony seeking attempts when these bases are deployed. The study claims that the US used all its military deployments towards achieving its goals, with many military invasions being launched through the bases to perpetuate the hegemonic order in favor of US interests. In short, the US overseas military base structure forms part of its hegemonic expansion and is a reflection of hegemony’s coercion component.
