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,

This book analyses the legal approach to personal data taken by
different fields of law. An increasing number of business models in
the digital economy rely on personal data as a key input. In
exchange for sharing their data, online users benefit from
personalized and innovative services. But companies' collection and
use of personal data raise questions about privacy and fundamental
rights. Moreover, given the substantial commercial and strategic
value of personal data, their accumulation, control and use may
raise competition concerns and negatively affect consumers. To
establish a legal framework that ensures an adequate level of
protection of personal data while at the same time providing an
open and level playing field for businesses to develop innovative
data-based services is a challenging task.With this objective in
mind and against the background of the uniform rules set by the EU
General Data Protection Regulation, the contributions to this book
examine the significance and legal treatment of personal data in
competition law, consumer protection law, general civil law and
intellectual property law. Instead of providing an isolated
analysis of the different areas of law, the book focuses on both
synergies and tensions between the different legal fields,
exploring potential ways to develop an integrated legal approach to
personal data.
