The present study aims to understand such modifications through the analysis of the organizational field. With this intention, it is used a theoretical basis to define the institutionalization concept, focusing on the differences of functional organization theory, as well to define the legitimacy concept and isomorphism. As a contribution to institutional studies, and as reference to this research, it is analyzed some organizational field studies published in Brazil, comparing them with others from Europe and America, as well as a discussion about the applicability of institutional studies. The structure and analysis presented here were elaborated through a survey, based on semi-structured interviews with representatives of organizations of the organizational field. This study is sectional with longitudinal perspective, including a qualitative analysis, in order to get information regarding the past that can contribute to explain the current structure of the organizational field. There is a perception that border actors, represented in this work by recyclers cooperatives, on the contrary of other studies, intend do change the structure of the organizational field by the mean of social pressures.
