Abstract: We examine two concepts associated with hegemonic strength: relational versus structural capabilities. We develop a measurement strategy for each, and test the salience of each for status inconsistency, frequency of wars and crises, and the incidence of terrorism in the international system. The tests correspond to our predictions regarding the relative salience of each concept for understanding the importance of hegemonic strength in the international system. We explore the implications of these findings for the emerging world order.
