This study arose as a consequence of the observation of a double phenomenon. On the one hand, the growing demand for an ethical behaviour by companies has brought upon the development of what is known as corporate social responsibility (CSR). On the other hand, social movements have experimented spectacular growth, in size as well as capacity and scope, increasingly shaping themselves as leading agents in the theoretical and practical development of CSR. The main objective of this work is to analyse the characteristics of the political relationship between companies and NGOs in Spain. Specifically, using Grounded Theory as a methodological framework, the dynamics established in the public sphere between both agents are studied, specifically analysing the influence of these dynamics in the development of public policies in the Spanish context.
