The theory of hegemonic interdependence conceives of the global order not as a flat network of sovereign units, but as a structure of multiple, complex, and profound interconnected circuits across six dimensions (sociopolitical, coalitional, economic, defense, technological, and ideological), monopolized by specific constellations of state power that exert asymmetrical preponderance. Likewise, shared hegemony emerges when this structural monopoly fractures between two main blocs, neither of which manages to consolidate stable control over all dimensions of the international system.
