Competition Law and Development

Edición de la obra Competition Law and Development

"The vast majority of the countries in the world are developing countries. Yet international and comparative law scholarship has devoted little attention to developing countries, instead focusing on the United States and European Union. This is surprising, given the changing global economic reality in which developing countries - especially China, India, and Brazil - have emerged as economic powerhouses. Together with Russia, these four countries have accounted for thirty percent of global economic growth since 2001. Competition Law and Development investigates whether or not the competition law and policy transplanted from Europe and the United States can be successfully implemented in the developing world or whether the developing world experience suggests a need for a different analytical framework. The book considers the serious implications that may arise in competition law enforcement given the significantly divergent political and economic environments of developing versus developed countries. This second book in the Global Competition Law and Economics series provides a number of unique viewpoints on what competition law and policy mean both in theory and in practice in a development context"--Unedited summary from book cover.
