Part one of Volume 4 (2013) of the European Yearbook of
International Economic Law offers a special focus on recent
developments in international competition policy and law.
International competition law has only begun to emerge as a
distinct subfield of international economic law in recent years,
even though international agreements on competition co-operation
date back to the 1970s. Competition law became a prominent subject
of political and academic debates in the late 1990s when
competition and trade were discussed as one of the Singaporeissues
in the WTO. Today, international competition law is a complex and
multi-layered system of rules and principles encompassing not only
the external application of domestic competition law and
traditional bilateral co-operation agreements, but also competition
provisions in regional trade agreements and non-binding guidelines
and standards. Furthermore, the relevance of competition law for
developing countries and the relationship between competition law
and public services are the subject of heated debates. The
contributions to this volume reflect the growing diversity of the
issues and elements of international competition law.
Part two presents analytical reports on the developments of the
regional integration processes in North America, Central Africa and
Southeast Asia as well as on the treaty practice of the European
Union. Part three covers the legal and political developments in
major international organizations that deal with international
economic law, namely the IMF, WCO, WTO, WIPO, ICSID and UNCTAD.
Lastly, part four offers book reviews of recent works in the field
of international economic law."
