AGUILAR ANTON, Mercé; CRUZ GALLEGOS, Carolina  and  FORERO FORERO, Olga Stella. Ottawa treaty: from the bottom to the top in the international agenda. a classical multilateral institution? . anal.polit. [online]. 2010, vol.23, n.69, pp.102-120. ISSN 0121-4705.

The Ottawa Treaty is a milestone in the history of multilateralism. For the first time thousands of NGO, UN and Red Cross in a coordinated manner introduced in the international agenda a topic: the end of the use of Mine (MAP), a weapon of war that has caused maiming, killing and suffering to millions. The aim is to analyze the process from the base and show how the question arose to become a matter of international concern, and wanted to discuss the Treaty in the light of the precepts of the theoretical Ruggie (Anatomy of a multilateral institution) and Keohane (legitimacy) to determine how much is about the Ottawa Treaty to a classic multilateral institution.

Keywords : Ottawa Treaty; antipersonal mines; multilateralism.
