The Theory of Founding Insubordination

Historical analysis of the origin of the development of the great powers : The cases of the United States, Germany, and Japan

Abstract

The Theory of Founding Insuppression holds that all successful emancipatory processes, that all the processes of real sovereignty building and all the processes of development that achieved positive results were the result of founding insubordination, that is to say of an ideological insubordination against the ideological order established by the dominant power plus an adequate state impulse that allows the power ( the elements of tangible and intangible power of a state) to become an act. The first power to build an ideological order aimed at inhibiting the building of national power of other states and leading to inhibit the development of other nations was Britain through the preaching of the theory of international division of labour and free trade. Hence the construction of national power and economic development was, from then on, linked to the rejection of the international division of labour and free trade. To demonstrate our hypothesis, the cases of the United States, Germany and Japan are analyzed in this article.
