Research Handbooks in Competition Law series

Edited by Deborah Healey, Professor, Faculty of Law, UNSW, Australia, Michael Jacobs, Emeritus Distinguished Research Professor of Law, DePaul University, Chicago, US and Rhonda L. Smith, Senior Lecturer, Department of Economics, University of Melbourne, Australia

This comprehensive Handbook illuminates the objectives and economics behind competition law. It takes a global comparative approach to explore competition law and policy in a range of jurisdictions with differing political economies, legal systems and stages of development. A set of expert international contributors examine the operation and enforcement of competition law around the world in order to globalize discussions surrounding the foundational issues of this topic. In doing so, they not only reveal the range of approaches to competition law, but also identify certain basic economic concepts and types of anticompetitive conduct that are at the core of competition law.
