Western Atlantic countries constitute an important model of study and inspiration for the countries of the world, especially due to their advanced development levels. In the background of the current democratic liberal appearances that these countries have in common, it is necessary not to ignore the findings that the appearances, political systems and economic understandings of the countries in question (USA, UK, France and Germany) before the Second World War were quite different from each other. In particular, presenting the initial contrasts of the USA and Germany duo (dominant model, choice of actors, administrative tools etc.) and their convergence as a result of the Atlantic pact effects in the later period within the framework of a comparative analysis will bring an alternative perspective. Although the establishment of the military pact within the framework of NATO provided a certain systemic stability, opening up the contribution of Bretton Woods and subsequent economic planning to this stability to discussion and examining the possibility of the security paradigm being positioned as a secondary factor in the presence of political economy-based explanations and the rationality it contains can be considered as a contribution to the field of study. However, the USA, which has all kinds of advantages such as military power and implicit nuclear deterrence, economic decision-maker and creditor state position including financial aids in order to be called as the Hegemonic state after the war, has set out with cooperation policies that will make the state structure of its allies indirectly dependent on itself rather than realist pressures in its partnership proposal to its allies. While this strategy required the preference of forcing the other side to make rational choices for the harmony with its new allies including the post-Cold War period, the results were successful but not always in the desired depth and quality, and Germany achieved a growth success beyond all other allies with the help of its own internal state and strong institutional structures from this newly established game. The aim of this study is to evaluate in detail which method was adopted by a powerful state coalition like Germany, which local interest group was applied by considering the interests of this method choice, and the relevant historical understanding, both in the form of the Capitalism model established and proposed by the hegemonic state USA with its own past practice and in the light of the prisoner's dilemma strategy it widely used after the war.
