CAIRO, Heriberto. A geopolítica da violência global na análise dos sistemas-mundo: relevância e problemas. URVIO [online]. 2021, n.30, pp.22-39. ISSN 1390-4299.  https://doi.org/10.17141/urvio.30.2021.4809.

The article aims to reflect critically on the role of violence and, in particular, of global wars in the analysis of world-systems, turning to other theoretical perspectives, such as structuring and critical geopolitics, to better understand the issue. In this way, we can assert that the struggle for supremacy is not necessarily a struggle for hegemony, which would inevitably result in periodic world wars as a prelude to the rise of great powers to hegemonic status. Hegemony refers more to the rules and practices that constitute a geopolitical order than to a certain hierarchical ordering of states. There is no general pattern of explanation for all wars: both global power configurations and the interrelationships between the local and the global must be taken into account.
