Abstract
Since the beginning of the XXI century, particular phenomena have risen
regarding traditional configurations of power with States, revealing that these may
not be its main source. This has been increasingly noticed by academics as new
actors, such as multinational companies and civil society organizations, take more
importance in topics that had been assigned exclusively to the State. In fact, the
latter has been less perceived as the sole actor to participate in processes that can
affect everyone, such as the development of regulations. To study the interactions
between the State, multinational companies and civil society, this dissertation will
study the case of the attempts of Monsanto to influence the Argentinian State on
implementing systems that benefit the company in local regulations, specifically the
Law of Seeds and Phytogenetic Creations, and the resistance of local society to
prevent this to be accomplished between 1990 and 2017. This will be analyzed,
through the Critical Theory of Robert Cox, a relevant framework to study the
interactions between the actors from a diachronic scope, for which the method of
historical analysis will be used.
