Competition, or Antitrust, law is now a global phenomenon. It operates in more than 100 countries and the relationships among competition law systems are often complex and opaque. Competition law is also new to many countries, which creates uncertainty about how decisions will be made in these jurisdictions. This makes it critically important to understand both the similarities and differences among the systems and the relationships between them.

A succinct introduction, this title breaks down the complicated and foreboding topic of competition law. Divided into four parts, this book covers the elements of competition laws, its decisions, targets, and globalization and the future of competition law. It also provides global context by looking at competition law in the US, Europe, and growing markets like Asia and Latin America. This title covers the most pressing issues of competition law in an informative and concise way.

Drawing on his lifetime of global experience and research, David J. Gerber's Competition Law and Antitrust is an essential tool for anyone interested in competition or antitrust law.

Reviews for Competition Law and Antitrust

It is a wonderful book, clear, sweeping, uncannily concise, and insightful. * Eleanor Fox, NYU Law School * Gerber has endeavoured and successfully written a global guide on competition or antitrust law, as is called differently in different jurisdictions. It certainly acts as a guide by giving a succinct introduction to a rather complicated subject. Having covered every aspect of competition law, including its elements, targets, and experiences, David has left no stone unturned ... The book also ensures greater accessibility and relatability by highlighting the core elements of competition law and patterns of variations in different jurisdictions. By bringing into fore cases and policy changes in different countries, David ensures a global and holistic understanding of the subject ... David mentions in the Preface that his aim was to write a book which is 'as condensed as good poetry and as insightful as good judicial decisions' - I must commend him for having successfully achieved both. * Pradeep Mehta and Sakhi Shah, CUTS International *
