Features: In the 1990s, with the decline and dissolution of the Soviet Union, the U.S. government and elite business circles attempted to make the United States a hegemonic power in the 21st century, controlling the major economic and political landscapes globally. They tried to change the internal and external situations of other countries using two new methods—the neoliberal movement and the globalization movement. In this way, the United States would reap the benefits of the new global order, while the risks and costs brought by it were dispersed to countries outside the U.S. This is the other unknown side of the Washington Global Gamble.
