"This work considers the entrance of China, Russia and Ukraine to the WTO through a legislation prism. The original approach enhances traditional economic aspects with legal ones, and with politological accents. It is shown how economic problems can be solved in legal ways and helps explain how a cross-discplinary approach to the solution of any problem can be used." -Skiperskikh Aleksandr V., Doctor of Political Science, Professor of Humanitarian Science, National Research University, Russia.

"Integration of Russia, Ukraine and China into the international trade and economic space of the WTO is shown in a comparative and legal presentation of the main economic problems. Comparison of economic conditions of the entry of three countries into the WTO is presented as essential to the analysis of the measures for improvement of the national legislation undertaken by each country. The comparative and legal method used in search of solutions of national economic tasks will be of great interest to the scientific community." -Olga A. Berzin, Professor of Law, National Research University, Russia.
