Abstract

This article explores two questions surrounding the Multilateral Agreement on Investment (MAI) (1995 - 1998): whether policy outputs are the product of actors’ interactions with structure, and, whether an actor is a simple reactor to structural constraints. Focusing on two perspectives of an actor’s recognition of his or her objectives, and actors’ proactive actions, this paper argues that civil society was not merely a reactor to the structural powers. Nor was it simply a prisoner to the structural environment. Instead, the paper contends that civil society was a proactive agent that transformed the structural contexts through the cognitive shift.
