GEOPOLITICAL POSITION OF CHINA FORM THE PERSPECTIVE IF THE THEORY OF HEGEMONIC CYCLES AND THE THEORY OF POWER TRANSITION

Summary/Abstract: Recent events in the international arena confirm China's aspiration to become a worldpower. This means Beijing's desire to dominate the existing structures of internationalorder, which is expressed in the attempt to delegitimize the United States as a hegemon.The understanding of China's actions and the general direction of developments resultingfrom them can be explained in terms of the Modelski's theory of hegemonic cycles and theOrgansky's theory of the transition of the power. These theories allow to analyze theprocess of the existence and reconfiguration of international order based on four criticalnodal points: hegemonic warfare, domination, delegitimisation and deconcentration. Thecontext for the analysis of current events corresponding to the phase of delegitimisationand deconcentration is the theory of power transition.
