Resumen
In the Social Sciences and the IR fields, hegemony is one of the concepts that implies themost theoretical difficulties for its construction and apprehension. The reason may lie on the extensive anddiverse senses in which hegemony might be understood, or how this concept has been filled with a diversity ofmeanings.Such a lack of a concrete definition, especially in the IR field, turns hegemony into a term that might confer the ideaof homogeneous totality, meanwhile explaining the different and particular relationships and degrees of power, in adiffuse and imprecise way.Thus, this paper proposes a general approach about the concept hegemony, and the relationship between hegemony,power and domination, as it might be understood in the Social Sciences and IPE context; therefore, it proposes todevelop this theme under the critical theory perspective; and finally, it evaluates the specificity of the use of theconcept hegemony, within the problem of power.
