This paper, I intend to grasp the time of the post Cold War after 1990s, as Globalization and reinforcement of American re-hegemony. Various problems to occur there, I get at that characteristic as "The 21st century type of crisis". The crisis of capitalism after 1970s as a result of the collapse of IMF=GATT system, had broken out Oil Shock and Stagflation. This crisis yields neo-conservatism and neo-liberalism. Thatcher and Reagan gained power and promoted the liberalization of communication and the financial liberalization. At the same time, Information and Communication Revolution―science and technology revolution was began. A formation of network world with a personal computer and the Internet shortened the world market on time and space. And it promoted globalization. America became a conqueror of the network world with the Internet as a result of Intel and Microsoft victory in IT revolution. In 1990s, United States has not only a dominant power with the military and political world after the collapse of the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, but also has a big power in the economic world by glorifying "the new economy". But this process was progress of "The 21st century type of crisis". Primarily it is the speculation of the international money market and outbreak of the asset inflated economy. Second it is the price destruction and fall tendency of prices that specially occurred around Japan by China's industrialization. It is thought that this tendency spreads all over the world. China's entry to the world market brings fall tendency of prices and price destruction. Chinese low price products export have a great influence to the developed countries. Third Globalization and development of Americanization lead to expansion of the gap of poverty and wealth, the collapse of moral of a corporation, the destruction of a community in the inside and outside of an every country in the world. Fourth President Bush declared "The New War" for terrorism 2001 year and attacked to Afghanistan, Iraq. The 21st century was perspective when the peaceful world came by an end of Cold War. But this expectation is completely betrayed and we have the time of new crisis and new war.
