The Three-Stage Framework
Imran Hosein's theory posits three successive eras of global hegemony, each preparing infrastructure and conditions for the next. The third stage—Pax Judaica—is where the framework becomes speculative and contested.
⚠ Disclaimer: This page presents a theoretical framework for educational exploration. The "Pax Judaica" concept is contested, with critics arguing it conflates legitimate geopolitical analysis with unfounded speculation. Always evaluate claims critically.
1815 – 1914
Pax Britannica
British Empire dominance. Naval supremacy, colonial expansion, gold standard.
1945 – Present
Pax Americana
American superpower era. Dollar hegemony, military bases, cultural export.
Speculative / Future
Pax Judaica
Theorized final phase. Jerusalem as center, AI surveillance, eschatological culmination.

Critical Analysis
Arguments in Favor
- ✓Historical pattern of hegemonic succession is well-documented in geopolitics
- ✓Israel's tech sector growth and surveillance exports are verifiable facts

Arguments Against
- ✗Conflates religious prophecy with geopolitical analysis inappropriately
