Publisher’s Description
Unfair competition, free-riding, abrupt termination of established business relationships, collusion, abuse of a dominant position, market power, competitive harm, price fixing, mergers, state aid, European authorities: the key terms of competition law are countless. Competition law is not easily grasped. This book aims to make it accessible to everyone by presenting an analysis of both anti-competitive practices (antitrust law) and those embedded in general business law (unfair competition, non-compete clauses, practices that restrict competition, etc.).
This fourth edition of *Competition Law* tracks developments in the law and case law, providing a better understanding of the contributions of the EGalim laws regarding anti-competitive practices and their international application, developments in compensation for economic harm, the upheaval in the rules governing anti-competitive practices following the COVID-19 crisis, as well as the return of inflation and rising international tensions that undermine the claim to the existence of a “competitive order.”
