This really depends on when you say that a global community is emerging -- it is not clear what time period you are talking about in this question.
Just guessing, I would say that this is talking about the time after WWII. You could argue that this is when the idea of a global community first really got started. This is when the UN and the IMF and such were created.
During this time, the United States was one of two superpowers (all around, I'd say it was the stronger of the two). It was the leader of the "free world" and took the head position in fighting communism around the world. It was also the leader in efforts to promote peace and economic stability in the world. In this capacity, for example, it was one of the permanent members of the UN Security Council and the leading force in the IMF and World Bank.
