In this issue we publish a collection of essay on the theme of the WTO and the Third World. Those articles arose from a joint program between Center for the World Trade Studies Universitas Gadjah Mada and the World Trade Organization Chairs Program (WCP). In this issue we present five selected papers which are contributed by our senior researchers who come from the Faculty of Agriculture, the Faculty of Business and Economics, the Faculty of Social and Political Science, and a practicing lawyer specialized in international trade cases.
