description | 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. |

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. El artículo pretende reflexionar críticamente sobre el papel de la violencia y, en particular, de las guerras globales en el análisis de sistemas-mundo, acudiendo a otras perspectivas teóricas, como la estructuración y la geopolítica crítica, para entender mejor la cuestión. A partir de ello, podemos afirmar que la lucha por la supremacía no es necesariamente una lucha por la hegemonía, que resultaría inevitablemente en guerras mundiales periódicas, como preludio al ascenso de grandes potencias a un estatus hegemónico. La hegemonía se refiere más a las reglas y prácticas que constituyen un orden geopolítico, que a una determinada ordenación jerárquica de los Estados. No existe una pauta general de explicación para todas las guerras: hay que tener en cuenta tanto las configuraciones de poder global como las interrelaciones entre lo local y lo global.
