Abstract: Purpose of this paper is to outline Mark Haugaard’s reconstructive critique of Anthony Giddens’ account of systemic stability and change within the framework of the theory of structuration. This position argues that while the theory explains societal reproduction on the level of the individual, it leaves the intersubjective and relational dimension of human existence undertheorized. As a result, it tends to appear too voluntaristic in relation to systemic change and, at the same time, biased towards systemic stability. The paper begins with a brief overview of the theory of structuration before moving on to Haugaard’s critique and reformulation that allows for theorization of systemic stability and change through modalities of interaction between multiple structuring agents.

Key words: Structuration – Agency – Haugaard – Giddens
