THE BRICS, A POST-HEGEMONIC MODEL WITH ITS OWN NORMATIVITY: HOW TO INFLUENCE WHO POLICIES TO CURB WTO LAW INTO A MORAL CAPITALISM*  OS BRICS, UM MODELO POST-HEGEMONICO COM A SUA PROPRIA NORMATIVIDADE: ANALISE DO USO DAS NORMAS DA OMS PARA INFLUENCIAR O DIREITO DA OMC PARA A CRIAÇÃO DUM CAPITALISMO MORAL  Meryl Thiel**  RESUMO: A política jurídica do BRICS apresenta-se como um modelo paradigmático, que mostra como as teorias de Krasner e Keohane se complementam, graças ao uso direcionado do direito internacional. Este artigo pretende demonstrar que os BRICS - na definição de uma política jurídica inovadora e independente - influenciam os processos normativos, e argumenta que os BRICS são uma construção pós-hegemônica, com normatividade própria, destinada a combater a hipocrisia organizada de nosso sistema internacional. Tendo em vista a questão de como o BRICS participa da moralização do capitalismo, considerei a hipótese de uma hegemonia dos BRICS, no sentido de que as formas de cooperação promovidas pelo grupo são inovadoras e não correspondem a nenhum conceito atualmente em vigor. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Normatividade. OMC. OMS. BRICS. Counter Multilateralism. ABSTRACT: The traditional foci of international law are no longer the only ones that can claim hegemonic practices. Currently, the BRICS legal policy presents itself as a paradigmatic model, which shows how Krasner's and Keohane's theories complement one another, thanks to their targeted use of international law. This paper aims to demonstrate that the BRICS — in defining an innovative and independent legal policy — influence normativity processes, and argues that the BRICS are a post-hegemonic construction, with their own normativity, intended to fight against the organized hypocrisy of our international system. In view of the question of how the BRICS participates in the moralization of capitalism, I have considered the hypothesis of a BRICS hegemony, in the sense that the forms of cooperation promoted by the group are innovative, and are not corresponding to any concept currently in force. KEYWORDS: Normativity. WTO. WHO. BRICS. Counter Multilateralism.  TABLE OF CONTENTS: Introduction: the urge necessity to reconsider hegemony. 1.
