| description | Celebrities are able to mobilize a wide range of people on a global scale. In his Oscar acceptance speech, Leonardo DiCaprio urged his international audience to work collectively to combat climate change. Another example of celebrity activism is Daryl Hannah's support for biofuels and the campaign against the Keystone XL pipeline. The article analyzes the legitimacy of such celebrity power in international relations, along three criteria (political impact; broad participation; control and accountability). It argues that as long as celebrities' claims are vague and do not go further than UN consensus, celebrity power can be considered legitimate through the political impact. In addition, DiCaprio and Hannah contribute civil society perspectives to the international agenda - while, however, not necessarily voicing most marginalized positions. Finally, by urging governments to comply to international agreements, as DiCaprio does, he holds governments accountable on behalf of the public. However, both DiCaprio and Hannah claim to speak on behalf of affected people who cannot hold the celebrities themselves accountable for their political action. This lack of control is problematic if celebrities convey more radical positions which are not generally endorsed by the international community, as Hannah does when protesting against Keystone XL and promoting biofuels. |

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.
