The idea of a chain of production that straddles the boundaries of national states is central to understanding the workings of the global economy; this book focuses on how a range of countries at different stages of development and regulatory capability deal with the regulation of food production and distribution.

This is the first empirical study comprehensively examining the role of non-competition interests (public policy) in the enforcement of EU competition law based on over 3,100 EU and national cases. It is a key resource for researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and students interested in EU competition and administrative law enforcement.

Competition law is designed to promote a consumer-friendly economy, but for the law to work in practice, competition agencies - and the courts who oversee them - must enforce it effectively and impartially. Today, however, the rule of populist governments is challenging the foundations of competition law in unprecedented ways. In this comprehensive work, Maciej Bernatt analyses these challenges and describes how populist governments have influenced national and regional (EU) competition law systems. Using empirical findings from Poland and Hungary, Bernatt proposes a new theoretical framework that will allow the illiberal influence of populism on competition law systems to be better measured and understood. Populism and Antitrust will be of interest not only to antitrust and constitutional law scholars, but also to those concerned about the future of liberal democracy and free markets.

Illuminating the concept and practical implications of causation in competition litigation, this work is an excellent resource for practitioners, scholars, and graduate students with experience in competition law. Lombardi's comparative analysis of relevant statutory and case law will also appeal to readers generally interested in analyzing economic torts and causation.

"Corporate and antitrust legislation is complex and covers a vast array of policy interests that may often be perceived as inextricable. This book opens a window to the complex interaction among these two traditionally separated but highly interconnected fields of policy making focusing on the most recent trending topics"--

"In the last twenty years, South Asian countries have increasingly engaged with modern competition legislation. Yet, apart from India and Pakistan, the countries in this region have had little success enforcing these laws. Competition Law in South Asia analyses the mechanisms and institutions through which Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Pakistan, Maldives Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Afghanistan have engaged with modern competition legislation. The book argues that the success (or failure) of competition reform in these countries is inextricably linked to the unique interplay of mechanisms and legal and political institutions through which these countries have engaged with competition legislation. The book provides an in-depth comparative analysis of the adoption and implementation continuum in India and Pakistan, the compatibility and legitimacy generated by the adoption process, and its impact on implementation. Taking a far-reaching, comparative approach, the book draws lessons not only for countries in South Asia but also for emerging economies across the globe"--

"Data collected and distributed on the internet is generally free, non-exclusive, and non-rivalrous. Yet online data is often difficult to access. This book examines the infrastructure for collecting, storing, and distributing data to show how it is embedded behind intellectual property and technological barriers. It proposes that the EU introduce an access and transfer governance right to data that can work in tandem with data protection rules. Chapters explore the subject matter of this protection, potential rights holders and the scope of the protection, and exceptions and limitations under intellectual property law and competition law. Comprehensive and timely, Regulating Access and Transfer of Data, sets the foundations for a new legal system for our data-driven generation"--
