Reviews

'This is a book that those involved with competition policy and law should have on their bookshelves... one of the very useful features of this book will be that it provides an up-to-date comparison of the legal provisions in the United States and Europe... the essays that comprise The International Competition Handbook provide not only an underpinning for concepts already learned but offer new insights and greater depth of understanding.' -- Rhonda L. Smith, Competition and Consumer Law Journal '... lawyers will find extremely interesting material on historical cartel agreements, theoretical and empirical studies on cartel enforcement and game theory analyses of cartel behaviour. A must have for any serious competition law library.' -- Ioannis Lianos, World Competition
