SUSTAINABLE CONSUMPTION AND PRODUCTION FROM A STRATEGIC ACTION FIELD PERSPECTIVE

PRODUCCIÓN Y CONSOMO SOSTENIBLE: UN ESTUDIO A PARTIR DE LA TEORÍA DE CAMPOS DE ACCIÓN

Abstract

This article analyzes the process of construction of public policies of sustainable production and consumption in Brazil after the country joined the Marrakesh Process in 2003. Based on the strategic action fields perspective, we analyze the emergence of this field, its characteristics and their status through the collective action of their main social actors, their actions, interests and disputes. Empirical material for analysis included plans developed during the period, minutes of the meeting, documents submitted to the public consultation, responses provided by civil society after the consultation, as well as in-depth interviews. Evidence shows that a series of obstacles have been delaying further advances of the politics of sustainable production and consumption due to disputes between incumbents and challengers.
