Cartels, trusts and agreements to reduce competition between firms
have existed for centuries, but became particularly prevalent
toward the end of the 19th century. In the mid-20th century
governments began to use so called 'cartel registers' to monitor
and regulate their behaviour. This book provides cases studies from
more than a dozen countries to examine the emergence, application
and eventual decline of this form of regulation. Beginning with a
comparison of the attitudes to regulation that led to monitoring,
rather than prohibiting cartels, this book examines the
international studies on cartels undertaken by the League of
Nations before World War II. This is followed by a series of
studies on the context of the registers, including the
international context of the European Union, and the importance of
lobby groups in shaping regulatory outcomes, using Finland as an
example. Section two provides a broad international comparison of
several countries' registers, with individual studies on Norway,
Australia, Japan, Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands. After
examining the impact of registration on business behaviour in the
insurance industry, this book concludes with an overview of the
lessons to be learnt from 20th century efforts to regulate
competition. With a foreword by Harm Schroter, this book outlines
the rise and fall of a system that allowed nations to tailor their
approach to regulating competition to their individual
circumstances whilst also responding to the pressures of
globalisation that emerged after the Second World War. This book is
suitable for those who are interested in and study economic
history, international economics and business history.
