Erozja systemu geopolitycznego USA. Rola liberalizacji rynków fi nansowych
The erosion of the USA’s geopolitical system. The role of the liberalisation of the fi nancial markets

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the relationships which exist between the geopolitical system and the international economic order, particularly in the financial sphere. The aim is to demonstrate the reasons underlying the crucial significance of geo-economic strategy, a strategy designed to establish the kind of economic system which will reinforce the geopolitical order in the long term. It would appear that, following World War II, the leading Western superpower lacked this strategic imagination. Initially, the changes which occurred in the USA’s ideology and modus operandi in the 1970s in respect of the international financial system seemed to resolve the problems in economic and political spheres alike. However, in the long run, the liberalisation of the financial markets proved to be unfavourable to the stability of the global economy. It was also one of the major factors in the erosion of the American geopolitical system established after World War II.
