Reviews

'The book, consisting of 14 pieces written by established authorities as well as by promising new voices in the field, offers an intuitive and harmonious read-thanks to the quality of the papers themselves but also to an excellent job done by its editors (...), who have reduced all the contributions to a common denominator, making the book an exciting volume which strikes a perfect balance between coherence and diversity.' -- O. Andryichuk, European Competition Law Review
