Analyze the persistence of collective action and cooperation in Agroleiteira Cooperative Trans, West of Pará State. Data were collected between January 2013 and January 2014. This is a case study and the methods and techniques used were: direct observation; interviews with semi - structured questionnaire application and documentary research. The observations were made at general meetings and meetings of the board of directors. Interviews were conducted with members in their rural setting, not unlike the way were interviewed local and regional leaders. For employees a structured questionnaire was administered and direct observations were made at the factory. Present a contextualization of the region, which includes this research, highlighting the historical aspects and the construction of collective action based on the mobilization of farmers, leaders and other organizations, especially Catholic and Lutheran Churches. The core category is collective action, but also highlights the power, participation and management. I use the theory of the sociology of organizations to understand the role of stakeholders in building cooperation and action. Present some aspects of the dilemma of cooperation in this study, partly shown negotiated and set by the actors that structure and maintains cooperative. Describe how actors' interests manifest themselves and affect the stability of the organization do not constitute a specific threat. The leaders assume the role of filter external pressures and to control what enters the context of the organization. The leaders have political experience, organizational and know how to negotiate. I also emphasize the active participation of members who, even by proxy, assume an important role in controlling the organization, define the purposes and activities do not interfere in the management of media activities. Finally, this construct, which is dynamic and negotiated within the cooperative, has avoided failure and built a possible alternative of cooperation and collective action to succeed.
