Following the end of the Cold War, the United States found itself in an unprecedented situation. The United States emerged victor of the Cold War and the international community's preeminent superpower. As such, the United States has spread its values and policy initiatives throughout the international community. In the years following the end to Cold War, multiple scholars have predicted different paths which the United States should take. Some scholars have predicted that the United States is \"bound to lead,\" while others have predicted that there is a \"Coming Anarchy.\" However, no reasonable scholar can deny the influence the United States has had on the international community during the post Cold War era. This thesis will measure the extent to which the international community has been dependent on United States political influence, economic prowess, military power, and cultural attractiveness to ensure stability within the international community. This thesis will also measure the extent to which the international community has become dependent on collective U.S. efforts in two ways. First, this thesis will examine the different levels of involvement the United States has had in multiple foreign events and, secondly, by employing an ordinary least squares regression equation to further measure the extent to which the international community has become dependent on the collective U.S. foreign aid and intervention programs.
