Abstract: This analysis posits that contemporary international relations are characterized by a form of neocorporatism, which manages social conflict and facilitates the legalization of economic exploitation on a global scale. The current imperialist rivalry has shifted from a purely territorial to a monetary struggle, centered on the hegemony of currency areas like the US dollar. The decline of the dollar's dominance and the emergence of a multipolar world, with currencies such as the yuan, are leading to intensified economic and military conflict. This currency war is the fundamental basis of today's geopolitical dynamics, as nations and transnational capital vie for control over the global financial architecture. The system's inherent crisis points towards either a coerced imperialist coexistence or a terminal confrontation. Neocorporatism; Currency Hegemony; Imperialism; Transnational Capital; Dedollarization.
