Indeed, this article based on Hegemonic theory describes that UK role on the continuation of the dominance system of US is orchestrated through the separation of hard and soft areas. The result of this study indicates that London special relations with Washington led to facilitate political, military, economic and cultural purpose of the White House around the world and UK as a catalyst for American hard and soft measures, has tried to strengthen the domination of the US.
