Description and Table of Contents

Description

With contributions from leading scholars from all over Europe and the US, this book covers the major areas of substantive competition law from an evolutionary perspective. The leitmotiv of the book has been to assess the dividing line between safeguarding and regulating competition, which it does by reviewing the following subjects: * foundations of competition policy in the EU and the US * strategic competition policy * the evolution of European competition law from a national (Italian) perspective * the block exemption of vertical agreements after four years * the new Technology Transfer Block Exemption * cooperative networking * mergers in the media sector * abuse of market power * concepts of competition in sector specific regulation * competition, regulation and systems coherence * efficiency claims in EU competition law and sector specific regulation. The Evolution of European Competition Law will be of great interest to lawyers, economists, academics, judges and public officials working in the fields of competition law and policy.
