| Abstract: | The negotiators of the MAI experienced that the political context of negotiations can change dramatically. During the years of preparation and the initial years of negotiation, the MAi negotiations were seen as just another technical exercise somewhere in the international economic rule-making machinery. In little more than a year the MAI was highly politicized. Any future negotiation in this field (if at all they are felt to be desirable) should take into account the key lessons learned: take the concerns about globalization seriously; integrate expertise from different fields; involve all stakeholders, and transparency is a must. |
