Abstract
This paper is the introduction to the book Dispute Settlement at the WTO: The Developing Country Experience, edited by Gregory Shaffer and Ricardo Meléndez-Ortiz (Cambridge University Press, 2010). The paper examines dispute settlement at the World Trade Organization from a developing country perspective. It builds from nine case studies of countries in Africa, Asia, and South America to provide a bottom-up assessment of the challenges, experiences and strategies of developing countries within the WTO. The paper includes charts that break down developing country participation by region. It highlights the findings of the nine case studies.
