Description: Global competition now shapes economies and societies in ways unimaginable only a few years ago, and competition (or 'antitrust') law is a key component of the legal framework for global competition. These laws are intended to protect competition from distortion and restraint, and on the national level they reflect the relationships between markets, their participants, and those affected by them.
This book examines competition law on the global level and reveals its often complex and little-understood dynamics. It focuses on the interactions between national and international legal regimes that are central to these dynamics and a key to understanding them.Review Quotes: "Global Competitionr provides a fascinating view on the problems, pitfalls and prospects of a proper regulatory regime for global competition." --Wolfgang Wurmnest, The American Journal of Comparative Law
