This paper locates the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) within the broader ideological transformation of 'services' from fundamentally social relations that are embedded within communities to commercialised commodities traded within an international market place. It is written from the standpoint of someone actively engaged in the current campaign against the GATS as a social activist, trade unionist, media commentator, NGO lobbyist, adviser to indigenous Maori and international campaigner and as an academic who teaches and writes on international economic law and New Zealand's neoliberal revolution. [1] It seeks to explain the ways in which the normative dimension of the Agreement works to silence those whose conceptualisation of services falls outside the marketised paradigm. The aim is to delegitimate the strategy of those who avoid meaningful dialogue by retreating inside the text and to identify more clearly the barriers and opportunities that the Agreement itself presents to effective critical engagement. |
