Social Dominance and Hegemony
Chapter
First Online:
Abstract
The fourth chapter explores Social Dominance Theory (SDT), a Marxist-influenced approach. It utilises work on US hegemony to explore how the Social Dominance Approach, which was developed to explain race relations in the United States, can also explain International Relations (IR). Dominance, coercion, force and influence are factors that SDT identifies; and these were present in the relations between the United States and the rest of the world during the Iraq war. This chapter therefore illustrates that SDT, which was developed for a different purpose, can also be applied to international affairs and inform us about domination.
