PODCAST: How to Become a Hegemon
Channel: Norwegian Institute of International Affairs, NUPI
Date: 24/01/2024

In this episode of NUPI's podcast The World Stage Ole Jacob Sending sits down with Professor Dan Nexon of Georgetown University to talk about how international political leadership – or hegemony – is established and undone. 

Nexon argues that hegemony is established through the supply of (public) goods – such as security – for other states. This is what the US has been doing for decades, but now China is trying to replace the US, providing alternative goods and also seeking to reduce the value of what the US has to offer.

This episode of The World Stage is a part of the Geopolitics Center, led by NUPI.
