The new military strategy of the US responds to political motivations, but it must also be understood in relation to the economic situation. The US economy is not in a permanent crisis since the 1970s, although growth rates remain comparatively low and a threat of financial crisis exists, due to domestic factors and riks of contagion from the periphery. The share of military spending in NNP is low, and the US has the capability to finance new wars. The military course must be understood as part of the overall framework of global US hegemony, given the importance of interest abroad of this country.

Keywords : Neoliberalism; globalization; militarism; military-industrial complex.
