By Michael A. Utton

‘This book provides an excellent introduction to the difficult and important issues surrounding international trade and competition policy.’ – Douglas A. Irwin, Dartmouth College, US

The opening up of world markets, rapid growth of trade and foreign direct investment create manifold problems for competition policy. Thus, international mergers may have adverse effects on many countries, international cartels may carve up world markets and dominant firms may seek to maintain their global position by exclusionary conduct. These problems have been recognised for more than half a century and some attempts have been made internationally to address them, so far with limited success. This progressive new book seeks to explore the problems and concerns that globalisation has created for competition policy.
