This insightful and original book considers the evolution, aims and developments of EU antitrust policy, and focuses on the way in which the European Commission has sought to combat cartels.
Lee McGowan expertly explores the European Commissionʼs cartel policy by examining competition policy from a politics/public policy perspective, and discusses the actors, ideas and policy developments involved.
