Re-understanding Hegemonic System: Structure and Function of Hegemony in International Relations

International Narrative has long been influenced by the structure of power distribution and the type of interaction between actors in the international system, which in turn has been influenced by the colonial actions of the conquering powers. Dominance relations have persisted since the development of European powers in the 15th century, known as the transition period in international relations. It has tried to redefine its structure and function in line with international developments. Today, the system of domination seeks to impose its goals in a normative and value-based way on a wide range of international actors, including governments, international and non-governmental organizations. Based on the negation of the domination system, the Islamic Revolution of Iran has put the integration of independent approaches with a focus on resistance and confrontation against the domination system on its theoretical and practical agenda.
