Usually the relationship between international law and international politics is considered reciprocal relationship that one includes fairness and equality and another one containing the power and it is often assumed that international law reduced by power, because there is no world government to control power and anarchy reduce the administrative options and restricts the effect of international law. Instead, this paper assumes that the hegemon is the creator, protector and fixing the rules of international law. Powerful states and especially hegemonic governments to reduce the costs associated with the consolidation of international peace and security, have forced to institutionalization and application of legal rules, As international law needs power to impose its rules. This paper aims to examine the role of hegemon on development of international law by historical perspective and descriptive- analytic method.
