EU and UK Competition Law is the perfect companion to your study of
competition law. Written by a leading expert in the field, this new
edition has been fully updated with all the latest developments in
this rapidly moving subject area. It also includes expanded
coverage of cartels within a dedicated chapter. Full coverage of
the UK cartel offence, and merger control in both the EU and UK
ensures this text maps fully to the syllabus of competition law
modules.
This book examines the implications for public law of the
regulation of privatized utilities, asking how these institutions
fit into our constitutional understanding regarding accountability,
individual rights and territorial government. It argues that new
approaches are needed if constitutional and regulatory principles
are to accommodate one another. This is of particular interest in
the context of recent constitutional reforms and the growing
influence of European integration. After describing the
institutions, their powers and duties, particular attention is paid
to the position of consumers, the role of the European Community,
territorial government and the place of individual rights. The book
concludes by looking at price control, the coming of competitive
markets for utility services and the future of the regulatory
system in the light of convergence, multi-utilities and the
government's planned reforms.
In addition to being the principal medium for communication,
education and entertainment the new economy is now a leading
provider of goods and services through electronic channels. The new
economy rides on the crest of new technological developments in
computers, telecommunications and satellites creating new
interactive mediums and from the deregulation and privatization of
state owned enterprises in the telecommunications and broadcasting
sectors. Whilst the economic viability of the dotcoms is
questioned, the existence of a new economy with novel methods of
production, distribution and exchange is here to stay. Evidence of
this is the fact that there are 300 million active computers in the
world, with 350 million people who use the world wide web (expected
to grow to one billion in four years), and the speed of
microprocessors continuously increases, facilitating the use of IT.
The question which is pursued in the series of essays in this book
is whether the conceptual underpinnings of competition law and
international regulatory mechanisms are adequate or appropriate to
deal with the developments raised by the new economy.
