Abstract: Price volatility of milk powder on the world market in 2007 had created a consensus for public regulation of markets. This paper tries to understand how milk powder market regulation was built in Senegal during soaring market prices in the world in 2007. Our theoretical framework mobilizes the instrumental approach to public action (Lascoumes and Simard, 2011) and the sociology of action logic (Amblard et al., 2005). It is based on documentary analysis and on 38 interviews with different types of stakeholders involved in these processes. The obtained results show that consultations between states services and other stakeholders, the social movements of civil society, political parties have highly influenced markets regulation. Stakeholders have mobilized three logic of action: strategic, cognitive and institutional logics. For each actor types, there is a dominant logic of action. However, the actions from the same category of stakeholders can be based on several logics of action.
