Abstract

This research examines the motivations behind the United States (US) rejoining the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in 2023. After the US withdrew from UNESCO in 2017, there was a shift in the influence of hegemonic power from the US to countries that have large financial contributions to UNESCO, such as China. This research uses the concepts of national interest, balance of power, and William D. Coplin's foreign policy theory. The research method is qualitative, with data sources derived from literature studies of books, journals, official government websites, and others. This research finds the power-balancing efforts made by the US from China's influence on UNESCO as a step toward achieving US interests in UNESCO. This research shows that the US interest in rejoining UNESCO in 2023 is to restore US dominance by instilling liberal democratic values that are the basis of US politics and economics in every UNESCO program.
