Attorney and Global Analyst Majid Foroozandeh Uncovers the Hidden Framework of Global Economic Power
(SeaPRwire) - Laguna Hills, California, May 6, 2026 - Attorney, engineer, international business executive, and global analyst Majid Foroozandeh, Esq. announces the release of Economic Hegemony: The Hidden Architecture of Global Economic Domination, a rigorous, interdisciplinary examination of how power functions in the modern world—not through military conquest, but through the deliberate construction of economic systems. "Today’s economic power rarely reveals itself through conquest or colonization," Foroozandeh writes in the book's preface. "Instead, it operates through contracts, currencies, standards, institutions, and rules that appear technical, neutral, or inevitable." In an era marked by escalating sanctions, currency tensions, shifting trade alliances, and growing skepticism toward multilateral institutions, Economic Hegemony presents a precise and unsettling argument: the global economic order is not a level playing field. Trade regimes, financial institutions, debt structures, regulatory frameworks, and technological standards—long portrayed as universal principles—function in practice as mechanisms that concentrate advantage, limit sovereignty, and perpetuate inequality across generations. The book does not present abstract theories. Instead, it documents these dynamics through a comprehensive set of case studies, including U.S. sanctions against Iran and Venezuela, China’s debt diplomacy in Sri Lanka and Djibouti, the EU’s trade agreements with African and Caribbean nations and their severe impact on Ghana’s poultry industry, the Niger Delta oil extraction disaster, the Greek debt crisis and International Monetary Fund (IMF) conditionalities, and NAFTA’s displacement of Mexican smallholder farmers. The book also analyzes the August 2025 U.S.-brokered Armenia-Azerbaijan peace deal—in which the United States secured a 99-year concession over the strategically vital Zangezur Corridor—as a real-time demonstration of economic hegemony at work. The epilogue applies the same analytical framework to the 2026 Venezuela operation. Beyond traditional critiques, Economic Hegemony also confronts military neocolonialism—how security partnerships, arms sales, overseas bases, and interventions framed as humanitarian missions serve to preserve economic access and political influence for dominant powers long after formal colonial rule has ended. Foroozandeh traces the development of global power from colonial resource extraction through the postwar Bretton Woods system into today’s age of dollar weaponization, extraterritorial legal enforcement, digital standard-setting, and cultural dominance. A chapter on resistance and alternatives explores economic nationalism, regional cooperation models such as the African Continental Free Trade Area, and alternative paradigms including the solidarity economy and Buen Vivir. Foroozandeh brings together a rare synthesis of disciplines to this analysis. With training in engineering before moving into international business and legal practice, he views global power not as a series of isolated policies but as an interconnected system—one that benefits those who grasp its underlying structure while constraining those who cannot perceive it. Economic Hegemony is not a polemical work nor does it offer simplistic villains or easy answers. It provides structured, evidence-based analysis intended for policymakers, academics, legal professionals, business leaders, journalists, and any reader seeking to understand how global economic power truly operates—and why prevailing narratives so frequently fall short in explaining it. Economic Hegemony: The Hidden Architecture of Global Economic Domination will be released on May 15, 2026 and is available for pre-order on Amazon and major online retailers.
