The US Grand Strategy is Taking a U-turn
While analyzing the ongoing
processes and events of today, one can get a strong impression that
Washington “puppeteers” have decided to abandon the existing model of
international relations to build a completely new one. The concept of
globalization that has been pivotal for decades is now finally left
aside, instead we are being presented with the concept of global
instability, that should allow the US to preserve its domination in the
world by destroying the stable political formations, which will
ultimately become the breeding ground for numerous conflicts. In the
meantime, Washington will be manipulating opposing regional parties in
different parts of the world to make them confront each other.
The globalization strategy, which was
being implemented after the Cold War and aimed at ensuring American
dominance in the developing world, has ultimately failed. The concept of
this strategy lied in an attempt to achieve the re-orientation of
Eastern countries to the US by manipulating local political regimes into
opening their markets to private investments, while forcing governments
to minimize the role they played in the private sector. At the end of
the process the US must have shaped the world in accordance with its
political, economic, spiritual and cultural preferences, it must have
created the new American order world, in which the US would have been a
recognized leader for decades to come.

The brightest Western minds from Hoffman
to Robertson rushed to develop different concepts of globalization, to
point out positive aspects of this process. Yet the absolute majority of
these researches stressed the inevitable displacement of traditional
Eastern values needed to embrace the order. It’s particularly curious
that globalization has been portrayed all along as a natural process, as
if nobody was noticing that it would benefit a single power. The
International Monetary Fund (IMF), World Bank (WB) and the World Trade
Organization (WTO) have become the main tools of this process, but in
order to play this game states were required to agree with the so-called
Washington Consensus, by launching an all-out privatization and
liberalization of their respective economies. The dominance of the
United States was to be secured by indirect measure – through the
control of the main financial and material resources, and most
importantly – through the control of the “rules of the game” on the
international stage.
