Abstract

The establishment of foreign military bases is a key matter to understand the distribution of power in spheres of influence throughout the world. Oversea bases are the first mechanism of a mass network, which works to maintain the control exercised by great powers, becoming the infrastructure for wars. Normally, government allows the allies and governments that have similar ideas about common interests or common threats in the host country to have military presence. However, long-term military presence led to political, social and environmental problems. United States of America is establishing military bases to expand their power and influence beyond the borders to achieve different goals and objectives, including the goal to increase the sphere of influence, dominance and control of geopolitical, geostrategic, economic interests, especially access to and control of energy resources and competing points. America with bases around the world has devastating impacts on host countries, the region and the world.
