Bibliography

Index.

The internationalisation of antitrust policy is a topic of great contemporary significance and debate. Dr Dabbah provides an enquiry that is at once clearly-stated, original and empirical, setting out the relevant issues in the context of law, economics and politics. He draws on the decisional practice of antitrust authorities, actions and statements of political bodies, as well as the decisions of law courts.

Providing a detailed examination of the experiences of the European Community and the United States, Dr Dabbah includes a comprehensive examination of central concepts and ideas related to antitrust law and practice. The book concludes by looking forward to potential developments in the landscape, and suggests a new approach to the internationalisation of antitrust policy.

This will be of interest to antitrust officials, as well as international organisations, members of the business community, academics, researchers and policy-makers who are involved in antitrust law and policy.
