Comparative Competition Law examines the key global issues facing competition law and policy. This volume’s specially commissioned chapters by leading writers from the United States, Europe, Asia, South America, and Australia provide a synthesis of how these current issues are addressed by drawing on the approaches taken in different jurisdictions around the world.

‘Comparative Competition Law provides a welcome scholarly examination of the key global issues that impact the way law and policy operate, as the proliferation of anti-trust regimes over the past 25 years has led to a global recognition of competition law.’
– Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor, Richmond Green Chambers, UK

‘It is impossible to be a competition law practitioner without an understanding of competition regulation in the world’s leading economies. It is equally impossible to practice in the area without a detailed understanding of economics. This collection of essays by leading internationally acclaimed academics and practitioners makes an important contribution to both areas. There are excellent chapters that explain the key areas of economic theory, as well as informative chapters on international trends. This collection will prove to be an indispensable addition to the library of any serious competition lawyer.’
– The Hon Ray Finkelstein QC, former President of the Australian Competition Tribunal, former Judge of the Federal Court of Australia

‘Ultimately, the key to this book’s success is the editors’ ability to mobilise a remarkable group of authors with affiliation to various institutions and professions from different countries. It most certainly fills the gap in the literature with its insightful analysis of the numerous competition law concerns in a wide selection of countries, including developing jurisdictions.’
– European Competition Law Review
