Competition Law in the EU - Principles, Substance, Enforcement - Second Edition

This thoroughly revised and updated second edition provides an enhanced understanding of EU competition law, exploring significant substantive and enforcement issues relating to antitrust, merger control, the Digital Markets Act and state aid law. While considering well-established doctrines and landmark judgements, the textbook also addresses recent developments such as digitalisation, sustainability and globalisation, and how these issues will influence future inquiry into competition law.

This incisive textbook is an invaluable resource for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students and scholars of competition and European law. It is additionally beneficial for researchers and practitioners of comparative competition law; in particular, it is a useful guide for in-house company training courses.

● New discussions on the Digital Markets Act and the Foreign Subsidies Regulation
● Critical assessment of the impact of recent developments such as sustainability and globalisation on competition law
