JWTS provides an in-depth and thought-provoking analysis of the world trading system designed and exercised at multilateral, plurilateral, regional, and bilateral levels. JWTS particularly focuses on analysing regimes that regulate and sustain the world trading system and examining important developments in the global trade landscape. JWTS welcomes manuscripts from academics and practitioners who employ interdisciplinary perspectives and focus on areas that are currently neglected or under-researched. By presenting a rigorous analysis, JWTS seeks to foster knowledge on global trade and assist policy-makers and trade negotiators in producing evidence-based trade policies.</span></p> <p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 1em; color: #191919; font-family: 'Open Sans'; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: 0.1px; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #ffffff; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: #ffffff;">JWTS is published by the <a style="box-sizing: border-box; background-color: #ffffff; color: #bfbdbd; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.2s ease 0s;" href="https://cwts.ugm.ac.id/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #800080;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bold;"><em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Center of World Trade Studies</em> (CWTS)</strong></span></a>, Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM), Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

<p style="font-weight: 400;">Due to growing environmental awareness, governments and people all over the world started to show concern and place importance on energy efficiency. The transformation from fossil-fuelled energy to renewable energy has been attracting attention and has become the solution that is expected to be more sustainable. This immense potential brings a new idea and innovation for automakers to adopt green technology by creating electric vehicles (EVs). Consequently, the electric vehicle industry has led many automakers, including Japan, to compete in order to dominate the market in Southeast Asia. As one of the longest-running automakers, Japan is unexpectedly left behind and surpassed by other competitors such as China and South Korea. This article aims to identify the policies and strategies Japan implemented to keep up with the competition. The descriptive qualitative method is used to analyse the concept of competitive advantage and government policies. The result shows that Japan implemented both economic and political strategies based on costs and differentiation, as a way to achieve its competitive advantage in the EVs market in Southeast Asia.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">This article is written to provide an understanding for World Trade Organization members as European Union trade partners to respond to the EU Deforestation Free Regulation. In achieving that purpose, this article implements the normative method through the implementation of a doctrinal, cases, and conceptual approach. There are three discussions presented in this article. The first discussion express that the EU might violate the rules on non-discrimination under Articles I:1 and III:4 GATT, and the prohibition on quantitative restriction under Article XI:1 GATT. The second discussion expresses that the EU may violate Articles 2.1 and 2.5 TBT Agreement which prohibits the implementation of a discriminative technical regulation and the implementation which reflects an unnecessary barrier to international trade. Last but not least, the third discussion states that the EU may justify this measure based on the public moral, and the protection of human, animal, and plant life and health. The third discussion also expresses the finding of this paper which is that international cooperation can be utilized as an instrument that may address the conflict of interests caused by the implementation of the WTO law and the international environmental law.</p>
