System hegemoniczny w ujęciu realizmu strukturalnego

Abstract

The paper presents the reflections of representatives of American neorealism on the topic of unipolar distribution of power in the international system. The author discusses the concepts of the balance of power and hegemonic stability, which served as foundations on which the referenced authors formulated own hypotheses regarding potential for durability and peacefulness of a system dominated by one superpower. The article also presents opinions of various neorealists on the international situation post-Cold War and distribution of power in the modern world.
