Competition policy in the global economy

International agreements on competition law and policy are notoriously difficult to implement. This collection examines the complexities involved when international coordination and harmonization of competition law and policy are considered. Presenting an analysis of the issues surrounding cooperation and convergence, a number of key factors are examined. They include the impact of differing antitrust laws across borders on trade and investment, the effects on competition policy of international strategic alliances, mergers and acquisitions, the trade-off between firm privacy and antitrust needs in coordinating information flow across borders. The final section addresses major policy themes in the context of how to proceed in the future.
