Moduli spaces of polygons in R(3)with fixed sides length are a widely studied example of symplectic manifold that can be described as the symplectic quotient of a finite number of SU(2)−coadjoint orbits by the diagonal action of the group SU(2). In this thesis these spaces are identified as the symplectic leaves of a Poisson manifold, that can itself be obtained by a quotient procedure. The construction is then generalized to the case of the quotient of a product of finitely many SU(n)−coadjoint orbits by the diagonal action of SU(n), and the main result of this thesis describes how these moduli spaces of generalized polygons fit together as the symplectic leaves of a quotient Poisson manifold.
