Overview

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 theoretical and political foundations of competition policies 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.

Reviews

'These two volumes contain a superb collection of readings on how markets, competition, and competition law can enhance the growth and development of developing countries... These volumes, containing also many other readings I have no space to mention, cover a wide range of topics lucidly, succinctly, and carefully. They are superb.' -- Valentine Korah, World Competition 'I am particularly taken by the editors' inclusion of essays that focus on competition policy for developing countries. This focus is rarely seen in the literature. By collecting essays that examine competition policy as a tool for development, along with essays focused on the experience in a diverse group of developing countries - from China to Zambia - the editors have provided an invaluable resource for scholars and policy-makers interested in understanding the connections between competition, development, and globalization.' -- Harry First, New York University School of Law, US
