Abstract

The global politics reflects like theatre of different regional and global powers i.e. United States, Russia, China, India, Iran, Turkey and Pakistan. The myth of international politics seems dynamical in nature as the game of geo- political, economic and geo- military rivalry with an essential regional polarization, where the concerned players do possess the dynamical role. The contemporary global politics has been attributed of military alliances and geo- economic priorities. The global politics has been emerged as the loose bipolar system by the beginning of 21st century with the emergence of China as a regional power and the United States as an ascending super power. The increasing geo-strategic and geo-economic role of China has caused a serious concern for United States in the regional and global politics. The United States yet have to play a commanding role to keep its global hegemony through both the manifestation of high and low politics. How the United States would play domineering role in future global geo- strategic, economic and military environment? The containment of china, conflict resolution, technology and economic development, peace and stability would be the key determinants of the future US role in the global politics. The study explores the implications and outcomes of power politics and quest for hegemony in emerging international politics. It reflects the US policy paradigms in changing global politics with the role of China as an emerging regional power. The US role would be influential and commanding in the geo- strategic environment of future regional & global politics.
