This innovative textbook, now in its second edition, presents EU
competition law in political, economic and comparative context. It
brings competition law to life from an EU and global perspective,
with cross currents of trade and industrial policy and attention to
the intervention of the state in the market. Quintessentially
readable, the book deftly and concisely excerpts the key cases and
embeds them in explanatory materials, including policy statements
and regulations. It is entirely up to date and integrates, for
example, new issues of power in the digital economy. Notes
accompanying the cases raise hard questions and explain the
fascinating issues underlying contemporary competition policy in
the European Union and around the world. The book covers the full
range of competition law and policy subjects, namely: the Treaties
and the single market, cartels, other horizontal and vertical
agreements, abuses of dominance, merger control, and state
restraints including State aids. Among key features, the book:
integrates law, economics and policies, providing a holistic sense
of competition law and its place in the EU system is unusually
concise, given its coverage, while explaining the critical nuances
of cases by means of notes and questions provides a unique
comparative perspective by including excerpts of landmark US
antitrust cases and numerous other comparative references. This
book is a perfect textbook for students of EU competition law and
even competition law in general, given that most nations in the
antitrust family of the world build their competition laws upon the
EU model. It is useful for specialized seminars on European, US,
and other nations’ and regions’ competition laws. It is also an
excellent desk book and resource for academics, enforcers and
practitioners in the field.

This book presents a detailed study of the interface between
regional integration and competition policies of selected regional
trade agreements (RTAs), and the potential of regional competition
laws to help developing countries achieve their development goals.
The book provides insights on the regional integration experiences
in developing countries, their potential for development and the
role of competition law and policy in the process. Moreover, the
book emphasizes the development dimension both of regional
competition policies and of competition law. This timely book
delivers concrete proposals that will help to unleash the potential
of regional integration and regional competition policies, and also
help developing countries to fully enjoy the benefits deriving from
a regional market. Bringing together analysis from well-known
scholars in the developed world with practical insight from
scholars in countries hoping to exploit the potential of
competition law, this book will appeal to academics working in the
field of competition law, practitioners, policymakers and officials
from developing countries, as well as those in development
organizations such as UNCTAD. Contributors: A. Amunategui Abad, M.

The Economic Characteristics of Developing Jurisdictions: Their
Implications for Competition Law contributes to the ongoing debate
over what type of competition law and policy is most suitable for
developing jurisdictions. Concluding that one competition model
does not fit all socio-economic contexts, the book frames an
alternative vision of competition rules for developing nations. A
number of different factors that influence the implementation of
competition law in developing countries are analyzed, such as the
content and goals of such laws, the institutional features, and the
political, ideological and legal conditions that must complement
law and policy. Experts in the fields of development economics and
competition law discuss the key economic features that characterize
most developing jurisdictions, determine how these unique
characteristics influence law and policy and define how this must
translate into competition law. Through this interdisciplinary
exploration, the book illustrates how unique characteristics of
developing jurisdictions matter when enforcing competition law.
Scholars interested in development economics and law and
development will find this an informative addition to the
discussion surrounding competition law in developed and developing
countries. Practitioners and policy makers will find practical
insight into how traditional approaches to designing competition
law must be revised for the future. Contributors: M. Bakhoum,

Competition law and policy is a topical and relevant field of
research which has been analysed from both global and national
perspectives. This authoritative research review is the first of
its kind to bring together seminal works from leading scholars in
economic development and in competition law. This encompasses the
most up-to-date and rigorous methodologies of empirical and
technical analysis, with a specific focus on the problem of
developing countries. This research review discusses the

versus industrial policies and the raging debate between
market-based versus interventionist industrialization policies as
well as including the most relevant literature on competition law
and enforcement in developing countries, including a cross section
and case study perspective.

political, economic and comparative context. It combines excerpts
from key EU rulings with discussions of enforcement policy issues
and comparisons with US antitrust cases. Untangling the complex set
of factors driving individual outcomes, it is the perfect companion
for any student or practitioner in the field. Successive chapters
explore the tools used by competition authorities in Europe: to
punish cartels that fix prices or divide markets; assess
cooperative agreements between rival firms and supplier-customer
relationships; to establish a dominant position and find abuses;
and review the competitive effects of mergers and acquisitions. The

restraints infringe on the principles governing the EU internal
market, and when Member States contravene the rules protecting the
European competition system including by means of subsidies known
as State aids. More than a reference tool, this innovative book

Drawing on history, economics, politics, and law, Fox and Crane's
Antitrust Stories provide a glimpse behind the texts of well-known
legal opinions into the larger-than-life personalities and
struggles of their antagonists and protagonists. Cases have been
selected to provide a historical sampling of different eras of
antitrust enforcement. They range from Standard Oil at the founding
of U.S. antitrust to Microsoft in the new economy. This title is an
invaluable supplement to any antitrust casebook, and the inclusion
of cases with international aspects, including GE/Honeywell,
Empagran, and Alcoa, makes it useful for courses on comparative or
international competition policy. It is also useful as an assigned
text for an undergraduate course in economic history or business
regulation.
The casebook welcomes on board Daniel A. Crane, University of
Michigan. The Fox/Crane casebook is rich with political economy,
economics, global perspective, and in general the analytics of
solving contemporary antitrust problems in the United States and
the world. Useful in a 3 or 4-credit course and as a desk book, the
volume features the contemporary debates about big data platforms
and their antitrust accountability, all of the landmark U.S.
antitrust cases, the debate about goals, the effects of new
technologies, and references to converging and diverging European,
South African and other jurisprudence. It provides a clear
presentation of the tools for analysis, examining assumptions that
may influence outcomes. The work is unique in its probing questions
that explore the line between hard competition and abuse of power,
and its problem sets for analysis and debate.
This up-to-date second edition spans the globe, presenting examples
of competition law and analysis from six continents, nationally,
regionally and internationally. The book covers competition law and
analysis from six continents, presenting materials in a manner that
the student (or scholar or practitioner) can understand the roots
of the law as well as the roots of divergences among jurisdictions.
It covers developed and developing countries, private firm and
state restraints, and domestic and global restraints. For
cross-border restraints, it covers issues of extraterritoriality,
efforts at cooperation and convergence, and theories of global
governance.The book covers all of the substantive categories:
cartels, other competitor agreements, mergers, vertical agreements,
and mergers; and new economy, high tech, and intellectual property
issues. Jurisdictions featured include the European Union, China,
and South Africa. "This volume is a majestic survey of an issue
whose time has truly come. It will not only be a building block in
the enterprise of aligning global markets and national antitrust;
it is a veritable world tour of the rules and practices that
already propel that world further and map out its future
direction." -David Lewis, Executive Director, Corruption Watch,
Johannesburg, and Inaugural Chairperson of the South African
Competition Tribunal
This classic casebook presents the governance and judicial
structure of the European Union, together with its major
substantive law fields of concern to students and practitioners,
all as updated by the 2009 Treaty of Lisbon. Part I presents the
history, institutional structure, principal Court constitutional
doctrines, and its basic legal system. Teachers may choose among
the other five parts to tailor their courses to their interests.
Part II presents leading Court precedents and legislation intended
to achieve the common market, later renamed the internal market.
Part III comprehensively covers EU competition law and policy, of
great concern to practitioners. The European Union's external
relations and trade policy is the subject of Part IV, while Part V
presents the impact of free movement of capital and EU banking
regulation, and the Monetary Union. Finally, Part VI presents
several key policy areas-the harmonization of employment law,
anti-discrimination rules, environmental protection, and civil and
commercial litigation rules.
America has entered its second century of antitrust law. The
United States has come through the 1980s of laissez faire when
antitrust had its lowest profile since the Hoover days, lawyers
advised clients that anything goes, and theorists justified
non-enforcement of the law by Chicago School economics--the claim
that antitrust exists only to create efficiency and that business
freedom creates efficiency. Meanwhile, the European Community has a
developing body of antitrust law. It rejects the Chicago School as
ignoring market realities, and it incorporates into its law values
of opportunity, access, open markets and the right to be free from
exploitation. The newly democratized European nations and Russia
all have moved to market economies and adopted antitrust law in the
image of the European Community, in spite of the carpet baggers
trying to sell laissez faire. The Supreme Court of the United
States has now reversed the swing of the U.S. antitrust pendulum,
rejecting Chicago School theory in favor of market reality and
accepting the fact that there is an antitrust right not to be
coerced and abused by market power.
What is the intellectual foundation of this new antitrust--this
law that respects efficiency, progressiveness, access, and freedom
from abuse of power, and which reflects the need of business firms
to be active and agile players in a global marketplace? That
foundation is contained in Revitalizing Antitrust in its Second
Century. This is the only book that provides the underpinnings for
the new antitrust. It is the only book that helps the
scholar/lawyer/business advisor/student understand the direction of
antitrust and how to predict the course of the law. Four of the
authors in the book were cited by the Supreme Court in its June
opinion; one was cited eleven times. "Revitalizing Antitrust in its
Second Century" is an indispensable volume for lawyers, economists,
business advisors, sholars and students of law, economics, business
and political economy.
