当前文章的目的是讨论公约在橄榄油商品链治理正常化中的作用。惯例理论（TCs）为更好地理解质量动态的复杂性提供了一些工具，而当地食品系统（lfs）在质量动态中起着至关重要的作用。它特别强调存在着不同的价值观、代表方式和辩护手段所提供的可能性，这种多样性与公约之间妥协和冲突的相关性有关。妥协本质上是暂时的、不稳定的、部分矛盾的。冲突与不同分支的发展密切相关，而这些分支是由相互关联的一系列惯例支持的。本文主要关注通过约定、妥协和冲突的复杂交互，在一个LFS （Sierra de Segura）中协调代理的方式。传统的学术文献关注的是质量公约对商品链组织的影响。然而，本文分析了其他相关公约，如确定土地处理系统的一套做法或农民生产组织（合作社）管理的现行公约。机构、创新和塞拉德塞古拉橄榄油商品链中LFS的总体表现，特别是质量倡议的扩展和成功，如果不考虑与不同规范原则之间妥协和竞争的临时性和不稳定性相关的机会，以及同时隐含在冲突中的商品链链，就无法理解。
The object of the current article is to discuss the role of conventions in the normalisation of the governance of the olive oil commodity chain. The Theory of Conventions (TCs) gives some tools for a better understanding of the complexity of quality dynamics in which Local Food Systems (LFSs) play an essential role. It particularly emphasises the possibilities offered by the existence of distinct values, modes of representation and repertoires of justification, such diversity being related to the relevance of compromises and clashes among conventions. Compromises are intrinsically temporal, unstable and partially contradictory. Clashes are strongly associated with the development of differentiated strands, which are supported by sets of conventions interrelated among each other. This article is focused on the way in which agents are coordinated in one LFS, Sierra de Segura, through a complex interaction of conventions, compromises and clashes. The academic literature has traditionally focused on the effect of quality conventions on commodity chain organisation. However, other relevant conventions as the set of practices that define the systems of agrarian handling or the prevailing conventions in the management of farmers’ productive organisations (cooperatives), are analysed in this article. Agency, innovation and, generally, the performance of the LFS of Sierra de Segura inside the olive oil commodity chain and, particularly, the extension and success of quality initiatives cannot be understood without considering the opportunities related to the temporality and instability of compromises and competition between different normative principles and, simultaneously, commodity chain strands which are implicit in clashes.
