Abstract: Abstract Developing countries changed their identities and their interests in the trading regime by adopting cooperative policies during the Uruguay Round. By implementing a new policy stance using disembedded liberal principals and stronger ‘black letter’ or formal law, these countries also changed the culture of the trading regime to become superlateral rather than multilateral. They created a new collective identity of multilateral trader while their egoistic identities as the protectionist Other eroded. This enabled developing countries to have more influence within this regime, although their capacity to change it was framed by the prevailing rules of social procedure.
