Abstract: Paradoxically, the marxist theory has not been so much concerned with the capitalism's historical dynamics. This neglect had and still has crucial political consequences. The paper tries to explain that dynamics as the process of the makking/distorting of the global capitalist economy's structure through the domination (hegemony) of the Internationally Dominant Power (I. D. P.). In that vision, the "great" crisis which is a crisis of structures is seen as a transition between two International Orders. So to speak, it is the moment of a geostrategical restructuring of the world between imperialisms, with eventually substitution of I. D. P. Thus, the history of capitalism can be reconstructed as the history of those spaces/times, under the following conditions : -capitalism does not structure itself at the national level, but in world-economies (F. Braudel), -the global capitalist economy is a hierarchical structure of world-economies building an International Order, -such International Orders cannot be durably stables, -the succession of International Orders is submitted to objectives conditions so that the history of capitalism is one of alternation of International Order and structural crises as geostrategical spaces/times.
