Abstract

The essay aims at providing documental evidence on the evolution of special treatments to industrial and developing countries’ policies within the GATT/ WTO (World Trade Organization) system, and on the historical context in which the discussion evolved. Historically, while searching for a legal treatment that could be adequate to development process needs, developing countries combined defensive actions, vis à vis the implementation of multilateral norms, as well as more positive attitude concerning the reduction of trade barriers that affected their exports in industrial countries’ markets.
