Resumo: This article aims to show the crucial role that ideas play in institutional change, the formation of public policies, and actors’ grouping and orientation. These scenarios involve processes of creation of ideas and discourses, of disputes over the solution to problems and the legitimation or not of decisions. The role of ideas depends on our conception of their relationships with institutions, interests, and actors, and of the determinants of the changes we appreciate. The assumption promoted by rational choice that they are instrumental means of interests limits the understanding of the complexity of political processes. To vindicate the role of ideas, the article analyzes: various schools and authors based on the conceptual tension between interest and institutions; the relationship between ideas, political changes, and coalitions; and the role of discourse concerning them.

Todos esos escenarios implican procesos de creación de ideas y discursos, de disputas por la solución a problemas y la legitimación o no de las decisiones. El papel de las ideas depende de la concepción que tenemos sobre sus relaciones con las instituciones, los intereses y los actores. Y de los determinantes que apreciamos en los cambios. El supuesto promovido por el rational choice de que son un medio instrumental de los intereses limita el entendimiento de la complejidad de los procesos políticos. Para revindicar su papel, el trabajo analiza varias escuelas y autores en función de la tensión conceptual entre interés e instituciones; la relación entre ideas, cambios políticos y coaliciones; y el papel del discurso con relación a ellas.O objetivo do artigo é mostrar o papel crucial que as ideias desempenham na mudança institucional, na formação de políticas públicas, e no agrupamento e orientação dos atores.

O papel das ideias depende da nossa concepção da sua relação com as instituições, interesses e atores. E dos determinantes que apreciamos nas mudanças. O pressuposto promovido pela escolha racional de que são um meio instrumental de interesses limita a compreensão da complexidade dos processos políticos. Para justificar o seu papel, o artigo analisa várias escolas e autores em termos da tensão conceitual entre interesse e instituições; a relação entre ideias, mudança política e coligações; e o papel do discurso em relação a elas.Universidade Estadual de Campinas2022-05-10info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionTextoTextoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/otherapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/op/article/view/8669203Opinião Pública; Vol. 28 No. 1 (2022): jan./abr.; 1-32Opinião Pública; Vol. 28 Núm. 1 (2022): jan./abr.; 1-32Opinião Pública; v. 28 n. 1 (2022): jan./abr.; 1-321807-0191reponame:Opinião Pública (Online)instname:Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP)instacron:UNICAMPenghttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/op/article/view/8669203/28507Brazil; ContemporaryBrasil; ContemporáneoBrasil; ContemporâneoCopyright (c) 2022 Opinião Públicahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMillán, René 2022-05-10T17:59:28Zoai:ojs.periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br:article/8669203Revistahttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/opPUBhttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/op/oaicesop@unicamp.br||racael@unicamp.br || rop@unicamp.br1807-01910104-6276opendoar:2022-05-10T17:59:28Opinião Pública (Online) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP)false
