Firstly, it reiterates a systematization of quantitative data about the structure of the international system and its level of conflict, this indicator being derived from three specific sources of variation: number of major powers in conflict, duration, and severity of conflicts between powers. Considering these systemic aspects during the 1500-2000 timeframe, the paper reveals the following findings: there were no instances of a unipolar structure, and what prevailed was a high multipolar structure; the wars between great powers previous to the summits were the most conflictive; during the periods previous to the summits the systems registered the highest levels of conflict. Secondly, it approaches in a comparative way the summits´ consequences, taking into account the normative equation established in Westphalia: legal equality-sovereignty-balance of power. Este artículo se inserta en el marco de un proyecto de investigación que culmina el estudio de posibles relaciones entre estructura de poder, conflictividad y construcción de órdenes internacionales, a partir de cumbres multilaterales de gran relevancia: la Paz de Westfalia de 1648, el Congreso de Viena de 1815, la Conferencia de Paz de París de 1919 y la Conferencia de San Francisco de 1945. En una primera instancia, reitera una sistematización de datos cuantitativos sobre estructura del sistema internacional y sus niveles de conflictividad, este indicador derivado de tres datos específicos: número de grandes potencias en conflicto, duración, y severidad de los conflictos entre potencias. Sobre estos aspectos sistémicos del período 1500-2000, el trabajo presenta los siguientes resultados: en ningún momento el sistema registró una estructura unipolar, lo que predominó fue una estructura multipolar elevada; las guerras entre potencias antes de las cumbres de referencia fueron las más conflictivas; los períodos previos a las cumbres, el sistema registró sus mayores niveles de conflictividad. En una segunda instancia, analiza en forma comparada las consecuencias de las cumbres, teniendo en cuenta la ecuación normativa establecida en Westfalia: igualdad jurídica-soberanía-equilibrio de poder.
