Spanish term or phrase: forma parte de ella y reconoce que condiciona sus decisiones
Context:methodological guide to research into human rights violations in Latin America

This is from a section headed ENTENDER EL CONTEXTO DEL PAIS

El contexto puede condicionar el proceso de decisiones y sus efectos. Decisiones como, por ejemplo, las iniciativas de un Estado para proteger derechos. El contexto es la suma de relaciones entre personas, entre organizaciones, es la interdependencia entre ellos, y un decisor de iniciativas *forma parte de ella y reconoce que condiciona sus decisiones*.

Following on from my previous question - "decisor de iniciativas" - I am having difficulty making sense of this sentence. What does "ella" refer to in this? La interdependencia?
Is it simply saying that the country context determines or influences the decisions that can be made?

Many thanks in advance.

is part of this totality, recognizing that it shapes the ultimate decisions that a are taken.
Explanation:
I see "suma" as the antecedent. However, the subject of "reconoce" is vague, IMO, so I'm suggesting a vague antecedent.

On second thought, the verb should be singular. Here is my take on it:
'Context is the totality of relationships between people and organizations and the interdependence between them. Therefore, decisions regarding initiatives are part of this totality, recognizing that they shape the ultimate decisions that are taken.'
