Book Summary

Hegemony or Survival is Noam Chomsky’s critical examination of U.S. foreign policy, arguing that the United States has consistently pursued global dominance—even at the risk of international instability and human suffering. Chomsky traces U.S. actions from the Cold War to the early 21st century, including military interventions, covert operations, political manipulation, and economic pressure used to maintain geopolitical control.
He contends that this pursuit of hegemony often undermines international law, democracy, and global security. The book highlights how power is justified through narratives of defending freedom or combating threats, while the real motives frequently involve political influence, economic interests, and strategic advantage.
Chomsky also warns that aggressive policies—especially the use of overwhelming military force—could lead humanity toward catastrophic outcomes, particularly in the context of nuclear weapons and environmental destruction. Ultimately, he argues that humanity faces a choice: continue on a path of domination that threatens global survival, or embrace cooperative, peaceful, and democratic approaches to international relations.
