The issue of competition law's role in relation to state-owned
enterprises is at the center of many discussions of competition law
today, especially in regard to China, but in numerous other
countries as well. Often the issue is oversimplified as one of mere
opposition between state-owned enterprises and the objectives of
competition law. That opposition exists, but the issues are often
far more complex, and they involve fundamental current developments
in the relationship between government and the economy. This book
is masterful in identifying the range of issues involved and in
analyzing the experiences and tensions in this relationship. It has
a broad range, and several of the contributions are exceptionally
insightful. All are very useful.' - David Gerber, Illinois Institue
of Technology, US'This book is an important and most welcome
contribution to the study of state-initiated restraints on
competition. It gathers together leading academics in order to
recognize and suggest tools to ensure that such restraints do not
restrict competition in a way which reduces welfare. Accordingly,
the book provides important insights on how to identify such
restraints in different settings, some of which are intentional and
well recognized and some of which are not. It then suggests
principled approaches to reduce such restraints, based, inter alia,
on case studies from around the world, including Australia, India,
the EU, the US and Brazil. It is highly recommended for anyone
interested in the role states play in creating restraints on
competition.' - Michal S. Gal, University of Haifa, Israel This new
book addresses important current problems and challenges arising
from a large variety of state-initiated restraints. Beyond
state-owned enterprises, rules on government procurement and the
control of state subsidies, the contributions also analyze forms of
regulation that either distort competition or manage to introduce
competition in the market. The contributions of leading competition
law scholars cover state-initiated restraints of competition in
many jurisdictions, including the US, the EU, Australia, and Asian
and Latin American countries. Competition and trade law scholars
will find this book both relevant and insightful. Regulators and
competition agencies, representatives of international
organizations and competition law practitioners will also find this
to be an invaluable resource of information from which they can
take new inspiration. Contributors: A. Barrionuevo, G. Bercovici,
