Resumen ¿Cuál es el impacto del surgimiento de nuevos actores en el sistema internacional? Utilizando a los BRICs (Brasil, Rusia, India y China) como caso testigo se investigan las posibles respuestas en dos niveles de análisis: actores y sistema. Primero, se estudia la reconfiguración del sistema económico global: el ascenso de los países emergentes y el rol de los BRICs liderando el proceso. En segundo lugar, se analiza la distribución del poder en el orden internacional contemporáneo. Se estudia el surgimiento del BRIC como nuevo actor colectivo y sus capacidades e intenciones respecto de un sistema en transición. Se presenta luego una matriz de potenciales trayectorias de interacción entre actor y sistema. La conclusión responde a la pregunta de si el creciente poder de los BRICs ha resultado en un mayor cuestionamiento o en la creciente aceptación del sistema actual de relaciones internacionales.Palabras clave: BRIC, multipolarismo, multilateralismo, Brasil, Rusia, India, China
