That's why it's never worked for very long. The hegemon always ends up using hegemony to advance its own interests at the expense of others. The others object, the hegemon gets overstretched, and chaos returns. Define 'very long'. It's worked for hundreds of years sometimes. Pax Britannica? Pax Romana? A multi-party system is not any likelier to adjust to changing conditions than a hegemonic one - look at the success of the UN right now. What makes you think a new one would be better?
