          Abstract

          Este artigo analisa a crescente importância que os atores não-estatais transnacionais vêm assumindo para a teoria das relações internacionais. Especificamente, o autor explora três aspectos: primeiro, a proposta da categoria de influência como meio político de atuação das ONGs transnacionais; segundo, a inserção destas em processos sociais globais - tais como desequilíbrios ecológicos, direitos humanos, consumo - e, finalmente, os métodos de criação de consenso em torno de problemas sociais de ordem planetária. Conclui-se que a atuação das ONGs atinge os planos interestatais, supranacionais e transnacionais.

          Cet article analyse l'importance croissante des acteurs non-étatiques transnationaux dans la théorie des relations internationales. L'auteur traite plus particulièrement trois aspects: d'abord la proposition de la catégorie de influence comme moyen d'action politique de l'ONGs transnationale; puis l'implication de cette même ONGs dans le processus sociaux et globaux comme tels que le déséquilibre écologique, le droit de l'homme, la consommation; et enfin les méthodes de création d'un consensus au sujet des problèmes sociaux d'ordre planétaire. L'auteur conclu que l'action des ONGs atteint des niveaux internationaux, supranationaux et transnationaux.

          Translated abstract

          This article analyses the growing importance that transnational, non-state actors are aquiring for international relations theory. More specifically, the author explores three facets of this phenomenon: firstly, the proposition of the category of influence as a political means of transnational NGOs performance; secondly, the insertion of these NGOs in global social processes - such as ecological instabilities, human rights, consumption; and finally, the methods of building consensus around social problems of planetary order. The author concludes that NGOs performance affects interstate, supranational and transnational orders.

            Politics beyond the State Environmental Activism and World Civic Politics

            Nongovernmental organizations (NGOS) both lobby states and work within and across societies to advance their interests. These latter efforts are generally ignored by students of world politics because they do not directly involve governments. A study of transnational environmental activist groups (TEAGs) such as Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth, and World Wildlife Fund demonstrates that NGO societal efforts indeed shape widespread behavior throughout the world. TEAGs work through transnational social, economic, and cultural networks to shift standards of good conduct, change corporate practices, and empower local communities. This type of practice involves “world civic politics.” That is, TEAGs influence widespread behavior by politicizing global civil society—that slice of collective life which exists above the individual and below the state yet across national boundaries. This article examines the activity of world civic politics as practiced by environmental activists and evaluates its relevance for the study of NGOs and world politics in general.
