The Global Limits of Competition Law (original) (raw)

Abstract

Over the last three decades, the field of antitrust law has grown increasingly prominent, and more than one hundred countries have enacted competition law statutes. As competition law expands to jurisdictions with very different economic, social, cultural, and institutional backgrounds, the debates over its usefulness have similarly evolved. This book, the first in a new series on global competition law, critically assesses the importance of competition law, its development and modern practice, and the global limits that have emerged. This volume will be a key resource to both scholars and practitioners interested in antitrust, competition law, economics, business strategy, and administrative sciences. Advance praise "Given the increasingly global dynamics of competition law and economics, Lianos and Sokol will make an important contribution to the field of antitrust with this new series."—Einer Elhauge, Harvard Law School "This series promises to offer a vital set of books that will fill a real need. The interaction of competition law, economics, and institutions in view of globalized markets is a critical problem of our times."—Eleanor Fox, NYU School of Law "With over 100 jurisdictions enforcing competition policy, officials need to know how to cooperate with other authorities, and undertakings devising a global strategy need to know how to comply with the requirements of many different authorities operating under different legislation. Both groups need to understand competition advocacy. Skills in both economics and law are required. Laws that suit large well-developed countries may not suit smaller or less-developed countries. The two series editors are well-known internationally in the area of competition law, and I am sure that they will attract excellent authors for the different volumes of the series. This new series of books will fill a gap and is warmly welcome."—Valentine Korah, University College London "With the growth in the number of competition agencies worldwide, there is an increasing opportunity to apply sophisticated economic reasoning to shape competition policy and make it work for the long-run interests of society. A series in global competition policy is a welcome development that should accelerate the dissemination of knowledge in this important area of policy."—Dennis Carlton, University of Chicago Booth School of Business
