celebridades, cambio climático, políticas ambientales, legitimidad, poderResumen
Las celebridades son capaces de movilizar un sinnúmero de personas por todo el mundo. En su discurso de aceptación del premio Oscar, Leonardo DiCaprio conminó a su público internacional a trabajar juntos para combatir el cambio climático. Otro ejemplo del activismo de las celebridades son las campañas de Daryl Hannah a favor de los biocombustibles, por una parte, y en contra del oleoducto Keystone xl, por otra. Este artículo analiza la legitimidad del poder de sendas celebridades en el ámbito de las Relaciones Internacionales a la luz de tres criterios, a saber: influencia política, amplia participación, control y rendición de cuentas. Aunque las demandas de las celebridades sigan siendo imprecisas y no prosperen en el Concierto de las Naciones, el poder de éstas puede legitimarse, sin duda, por medio de su influencia política.Descargas
