Through the last decade the US have proven to be the only military force that can organize military attacks on their own, as it was proven with the fall of Yugoslavia and Iraq [8]. .
NATO today serves as a stabilizing factor in the world peace, while bringing together World's biggest military power. The US uses NATO as a disguise to their military power, and thus trying to mask the unbalance it has created in the world of military forces today. Martin A. Smith, in his article The EU, NATO, and the Extension of Institutional Order in Europe [9], points out that EU countries are rather dependent, then interdependent on the military assets of the USA military assets within the NATO alliance. The fact that US military officials dominate NATO's central command adds to the fact that the USA is presenting a new kind of authoritarianism.
Regarding the global economy the US seem to be having the leading role there as well. A survey reported to the Financial Times of January 1999, has showed that among 500 biggest companies the US hold 244 places, meanwhile the total number of European companies is 173 [10]. In "Globalization and American Power" [11], Keneth N. Waltz refers to the USA as the "electronic herd" of today's globalization process. This "electronic herd" is what decides the movements of capital, "depending on the economic and political merits". "States can defy the herd", continues Waltz, "but they will pay a price, usually a steep one". Finally, international economy, just like national economy, "demands rules and institutions that have to be made and sustained" [12]. While prior to World War I Britain provided this service for the World economy, since World War II and until the present time the USA has done so.
Hans Morgenthau in Politics Among Nations mostly refers to the balance of power as an "actual states of affairs in which power is distributed among several nations with approximate equality" [13].
