Q: How can there be more than one hegemon?

of hegemony as maintained through an alliance of various forces rather than
the imposed will of a unitary actor. Where a unitary actor tries to impose
its will without regard to the other forces, it will fail (apropos the
Gramsci's concept is different from that of international affairs. But it's true that
if an international hegemon emphasizes power over legitimacy (soft power) it
stimulates resistance. (For example, the Roman Empire was able to win some legitimacy
for its power by providing Pax Romana.)
Although Super Size Me has been widely recognized as borrowing
