Leadership or dominance, particularly pertaining to political or military affairs. In regular usage, often employed to note the enduring power of Western worldviews and governance structures, as they have been perpetuated and maintained by colonial domination and capitalism (see Rangwala). Euro-American hegemony endures in many diffuse ways, such as in the dominance of English as the pre-eminent global language (on linguistic hegemony, see Dion Fletcher and Chun; or for reflections on the dominant healthcare system, see Dodd, James, and Rosella).
