XX. mendeko gobernu bat baino gehiagok erabili du Alexandro Handiaren irudia egungo eztabaida politikoetan. Mitoaren sorburua eta zabalkundea kontuan izanda, Alexandroren ekintzen eta ezaugarrien artetik zein izan diren ikur gisa hautatuak aztertzen da. Lehia dago gobernu anitzen artean (Grezia, Tadjikistan, Fyrom...) irudi hau patrimonializatzeko, eta denek egiten dute bakoitzaren egoerarako egokien den ezaugarrien hautaketa.
