Abstract: In Brazil, the evolution of the authorization of the use of transgenic soybean, rendered tolerant to RoundUp herbicide of Monsanto (RRS), is a topic which has attracted attention of the international community. To our knowledge, this paper proposes the most comprehensive study of the mentioned topic by covering a period of more than ten years and by addressing the conditions of access to RRS. Our study, which lies in the analysis of the governance in setting the rules for RRS use, is the first governance study applied to the area of GMO in agriculture. The study of governance is implemented through the systemic approach of Türk (2008). The dynamics of the social system involved in the use of RRS demonstrates various shapes of public and private governance within a context dominated by the trust in technical progress and in the role of large firms to promote agribusiness.
