The role of the USA in the Developing process of theorizing Examining Normative Value System and A case study of individualism

The subject of this research is the causal relationship between the USA and international relations theorizing. Thinkers have already done detailed research on the possibility of The USA dominating on the Knowledge of IR. For this reson, in this research, we focus on the mechanism of the USA’s influence on theorizing. By studying the literature of this field, we found various variables, the most important of which are the value-normative system, accepting the role of a committed hegemon, and strengthening the science production process. In this research, we focused on the variable of the normative value system and proved how the USA has been able to influence the theorizing of international relations through this method. In this research, we examined indicators such as individualism and pragmatism that were taken from the political thought of liberalism. We were able to find a good relationship between these indicators and international relation theories. The most important concept that we were able to associate with these indicators is the concept of anarchy in the international system. In general, it was proved that the USA has been able to influence the ontology of international relations through its normative value system.
