Description: "The essays included in this book provide insights into the origins of the ICN, cover the activities that the network has embarked upon during the past decade, explore its accomplishments and the future directions that the organization will embark upon in a challenging but exciting time that is witnessing a resurgence of popular interest in competition law, including an almost global backlash against parts of the tech industry and attempts to accommodate sustainability considerations, labor law issues and other public interest policies within competition law and, more recently, some dramatic geopolitical frictions. The authors and editors of this International Competition Law at Twenty book have sought to contribute to the history of the ICN through this collection at the dawn of the organization's third decade"--
