Ap?s quinze anos, o envolvimento dos atores locais nos projetos da Nova Agenda e o cumprimento de seus acordos e frameworks foram extremamente baixos. Se a Nova Agenda deve ser considerada uma resposta ?s demandas locais, por que houve baixos envolvimento e conformidade dos atores locais com seus projetos e acordos? Para responder a essa pergunta, esta tese extrai das teorias das Rela??es Internacionais uma abordagem plural, reflexiva e construtivista que permite o emprego de ?percep??o? como vari?vel anal?tica relevante. O uso de entrevistas e a aplica??o de pesquisa eletr?nica s?o as principais fontes prim?rias. Pesquisas bibliogr?ficas e estat?sticas oficiais s?o aplicadas na elabora??o de dados contextuais. A an?lise hist?rica ? empregada para compreender a rela??o entre atores estatais e n?o estatais na constru??o social da Rtbu. Esta tese conclui que os problemas de cumprimento e engajamento t?m pouco a ver com uma cultura fronteiri?a de informalidade e ilegalidade. Est?o mais relacionados com a defici?ncia da Nova Agenda e a perpetua??o da ignor?ncia em rela??o ? realidade social da Rtbu e ?s demandas dos atores locais. As quest?es de engajamento e conformidade dos atores locais com a Nova Agenda est?o intimamente ligadas ? insatisfat?ria oferta estatal de institucionalidade capaz de transformar a Rtbu em um espa?o legal e normativo em que a regi?o pudesse implementar, de forma aut?noma, estrat?gias de desenvolvimento local para as suas popula??es transfronteiri?as. Essa institucionalidade poderia mudar a maneira como os atores formais e informais se relacionam. Al?m disso, o modus agendi trans-local, profundamente enraizado na regi?o, ? suscept?vel tanto de ser causa para a resist?ncia a qualquer projeto que tente controla-lo ou alter?-lo, quanto de servir como base para novos regimes de coopera??o. / This thesis identifies local actors? perceptions on the operationalization of the New Agenda for Cooperation and Border Development (New Agenda) in the Brazilian- Uruguayan cross-border region (Bucbr), emphasizing the relationship between formal (state) and informal (non-state) actors and processes. After fifteen years, local actors? engagement in New Agenda?s projects, and compliance with its agreements and frameworks were extremely low. If the New Agenda should be considered a response to local demands, why was/is there such low engagement and compliance of local actors with its projects and agreements? To answer this question, this thesis draws from International Relations theories a plural, reflectivist and constructivist approach that enables the employment of ?perception? as a relevant analytical variable. The use of interviews and the application of an electronic survey are the main primary sources. Bibliographical research and official statistics are applied for contextual data. Historical analysis is employed for comprehending the relationship between state and non-state actors in the social construction of the Bucbr. This thesis finds that compliance and engagement have little to do with a border culture of informality and illegality. They are related more to a New Agenda?s deficient institutionality and the perpetuation of ignorance toward the social reality of the Bucbr and the demands of local actors. The issues of engagement and compliance of local actors with the New Agenda is intimately linked with the unsatisfactory state offer of institutionality capable to turn the Bucbr into a legal and normative space in which the region could implement, autonomously, local development strategies for its cross-border populations. Such an institutionality would potentially change the way formal and informal actors relate. Moreover, the deeply rooted trans-local modus agendi of the region is likely to be either cause for resistance of any project that attempts to control or change it or the basis of novel cooperative regimes. / Cette th?se identifie les perceptions des acteurs locaux sur la mise en ?uvre du Nouveau programme de coop?ration et de d?veloppement frontalier (NPCDF) dans la r?gion frontali?re du Br?sil-Uruguay (Rfbu), soulignant la relation entre les acteurs et les processus formels (?tat) et informel (non ?tatique). Apr?s quinze ans, l?engagement des acteurs locaux envers des projets du NPCDF et la conformit? aux accords et cadres ont ?t? extr?mement faibles. Si le NPCDF doit ?tre consid?r? comme une r?ponse aux demandes locales, pourquoi y a-t-il eu peu de participation et de conformit? des acteurs locaux ? ses projets et accords ? Pour r?pondre ? cette question, cette th?se extrait dans les th?ories des relations internationales une approche pluriel, r?flexive et constructiviste qui permet l'utilisation de la ? perception ? comme une variable d'analyse pertinente. L'utilisation d'interviews et l'application d'un questionnaire ?lectronique sont les principales sources primaires. La recherche bibliographique et les statistiques officielles sont appliqu?es ? la pr?paration des donn?es contextuelles. L'analyse historique est utilis?e pour comprendre la relation entre les acteurs ?tatiques et non ?tatiques dans la construction sociale de la Rfbu. Cette th?se conclut que les probl?mes de conformit? et d'engagement ont peu ? voir avec une culture frontali?re d'informalit? et d'ill?galit?. Ils sont davantage li?s ? la d?ficience du NPCDF et ? la perp?tuation de l'ignorance par rapport ? la r?alit? sociale de la Rfbu et aux exigences des acteurs locaux. L'engagement et la conformit? des acteurs locaux au NPCDF sont ?troitement li?s ? l?insatisfaisante fourniture des institutions capables de transformer la Rfbu dans un espace juridique et normatif dans lequel la r?gion pourrait mettre en ?uvre, de mani?re autonome, les strat?gies de d?veloppement local pour leurs populations transfrontali?res. Cette institutionnalit? pourrait changer la fa?on dont les acteurs formels et informels interagissent. En outre, le modus agendi trans-local, qui est profond?ment enracin? dans la r?gion, est susceptible d'?tre une cause de r?sistance ? tout projet qui tente de le contr?ler ou de le modifier, ou de servir de base ? de nouveaux programmes de coop?ration.
