- Abstract
This article explores the determinants of the agreements and consensus building along a complex policy dialogue process focusing on Local Innovation and Production System (LIPS) of Carnival in Brazil. We explore the role of leadership and agency within varying institutional arrangements. The main objective is to analyze the interplay of beneficiaries' mobilization and leadership capacity, political interests and power relations, and changing institutions. Along the experience of dialogue for policy construction, different phases can be observed, which vary from top-down-oriented voluntary initiatives of support organizations to an essentially bottom-up re-conceptualization of those propositions, based on the capacity of different actors to translate the understanding of specificities of this activity into policy-making language. We suggest that success of dialogue and its capacity to lead to effective policy support is connected to a question of timing, taking or not advantage of 'institutional windows of opportunity' and avoiding dialogue 'death valleys'.
