This research aims to understand why the United States promotes trade wars. To this end, the central hypothesis argues that the United States promotes the trade wars to readjust and to preserve itself as hegemon. In other words, when they feel that their hegemon position is being threatened by other actors in the international system, they initiate a trade war in order to safeguard their centrality position, unlocking sectors of the economy and limiting the other powers to ascend. As a methodological criterion, the research uses the analysis of two cases, the first, between the United States and Japan and, the second, between the United States and China. Not randomly, these two cases were thus chosen for their relevance and magnitude, given that, despite their differences and specificities, both countries raised theses and debates about the decline of American hegemony. That said, the data collection will be mainly through written sources — especially books, periodicals, and documents —, analyzing and exploring both primary and secondary sources.
