During the years 2003-2006 Uppsala University and Wildy, Simmonds & Hill published the Uppsala Yearbook of East European Law. For a number of reasons publication of the Yearbook was discontinued after the 2006 issue.
We are pleased to be able to resume publication of the Yearbook, now with a broadened perspective. As the title, Uppsala Yearbook of Eurasian Studies, indicates the Yearbook now covers also other disciplines than law, in particular political science and economics. Given recent developments in the Eurasian region this enlarged focus is increasingly relevant and important.

In this first issue of the relaunched Yearbook we publish presentations made at a symposium devoted to Russia’s membership in the WTO, a development of potentially great significance both to Russia and the rest of the world. The first issue also contains many other interesting contributions, including articles and notes dealing with Ukraine and the situation there. The developing relationship between Russia and Ukraine is an area that will continue to be monitored and analysed.
