Why is it important?

The importance of this article resides in its discussion about what it means to be a hegemon, the implications that hegemony has in a regional system and how can we empirically identify a transition towards hegemony in a given region.

Perspectives

I expect this article continues to help other people elucidate the future of Brazil in South America and the implications of its potential hegemony for other countries.
