RESUMO

The present work intends to analyze how occurred and has been occurring the process of creation, stability and transformation of world order under American Hegemony. Therein, in this work it will be undertake a discussion about how the modern world-system theory in the conception of Giovanni Arrighi deals with these questions, and the applicability of its model for the analysis of the world order transformations happened since the 1970 s. Principally, special attention will be given to the more recent period of US strategic reorientation since the end of Cold War. The aim will be to show that the International Political Economy of Marxist inspiration still seems to be marked by important gaps to be overcome. In the case of Arrighi, in spite of its model provides interesting insights for the analysis of the transformation of world orders, it needs to be rectified in some points to contemplate in a appropriate way these transformations since the 1970 s. Even though it incorporates social and international conflicts to the center of the analysis, Arrighi s approach still seems contaminated by some kind of determinist sloping, inherited, somehow, from the Marxist trend of looking for inexorable "historical laws", independently of the conscious practices of the agents involved in conflicts which the result, in principle, can not be easily determined. Particularly, the destiny of the US hegemony does not seem susceptible of predetermination, although different scenarios may be imagined from the changing results of conflicts that still does not have a solution, which lead us to situations that are beneath the crisis of US hegemony, or the catastrophic crisis of capitalism, as it is intended to show ahead
