Declínio e Ascensão uma Análise Comparativa do Imperialismo dos Estados Unidos e China

Abstract

This research analyzes the rise of China in the 21st century in light of Giovanni Arrighi's theory on systemic cycles of accumulation, comparing it to the imperialism of the United States in the 19th century. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, the research integrates theoretical analyses, literature review, and data collection. The central hypothesis argues that China's rise is less imperial and more hegemonic than U.S. imperialism in the 19th century. The comparative analysis covers foreign policies, economic strategies, global impact, and power dynamics. The research contributes to understanding transformations in the global capitalist system and its impact on global governance, particularly regarding the activities of emerging powers. Structured into four phases - literature review, data collection, comparative analysis, and dissertation writing - the methodology employs qualitative and quantitative approaches, utilizing data analysis software. The guiding research question is: "How does China's rise in the 21st century compare to U.S. imperialism in the 19th century, in light of Giovanni Arrighi's theory on systemic cycles of accumulation?".
