【 摘 要 】

A higher development of analytical frameworks for the understanding of the relationship amongst State, society and environment, and for the development of policy analysis as a discipline, is necessary for Latin America and specifically for Colombia. This article contributes to de development of these analyses, by studying the change of the Colombian environmental policy after the enactment of the 99 law of 1993. The “three I” framework is used, which stands for the convenience of mobilizing the three dimensions of analyses, commonly used in a separate way in politic analyses: ideas, interests and institutions; to avoid considering, a priori, that any of them is more important than the others, as the main stream of policy analyses does (Heclo, 1994; Hall and Taylor, 1996; Palier and Surel, 2005). The hypothesis that the analysis from each dimension is enough to fully explain the policy change is stated. The results are then compared to verify the validity of the hypothesis. The resulting relationship amongst the dimensions and their explicative capability is identified. A conclusion is drawn on the convenience of developing analytical tools from Latin American contexts and the use of frameworks that overcome the common boundaries of disciplines and classical analytical frameworks. For that, the use of Pierre
Bourdieu‟s theory of fields is proposed.
