Hegemonic

/ˌhɛdʒəˈmɑːnɪk/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or characteristic of a hegemon; describing a situation where one power dominates others.

Etymology

Formed from 'hegemon' plus the -ic suffix, which converts nouns into adjectives. The term became especially important in 20th-century political theory and international relations.

Kelly Says

The term 'hegemonic' became politically charged during the Cold War and remains so today—it's how scholars discuss dominance without always saying 'imperialism,' which lets us analyze power structures more neutrally, though the word itself carries political implications.
