Summary
This timely book addresses the contemporary complexities within
competition law, questioning whether the founding
principles of competition law still hold true today. It explores three
main present-day challenges for competition law: the impact of
the digital economy and innovative sectors, the challenges facing
emerging countries, and current institutional issues.
Written
in a clear and concise way, with an emphasis on current trends and
practices, this book explores recurring key questions such as what are
the impacts of the economic characteristics of a market on legal
assumptions and the limits of antitrust. Chapters address topics such as
merger control regimes, the creation of specialised competition
tribunals, and competition clauses in trade agreements. Challenges to
Assumptions in Competition Law takes a fresh look at
these important issues for competition law in the digital age,
incorporating insights from China, Latin America, Europe and the US.
This insightful book will be a useful resource for academics and
researchers in competition and commercial law, whilst also providing an
informative foundation for lawyers and economists working in the field.
