"(PUBLICATION FIRST MARKED AS OUT OF PRINT 09/10/03)Whish: Competition Law introduces the reader to the competition law of the EC and the UK, describing the constituent parts of the law, analysing the way in which the law affects particular commercial phenomena, and explaining the economic context in which competition law operates.This new edition has been revised in line with the enormous changes in this complex field of law, both in the EC and the UK. Most notable amongst the many developments in the EC is Regulation 2790/99 and the accompanying Guidelines on Vertical Restraints which have dramatically changed the application of Article 81 of the EC Treaty to vertical agreements. Meanwhile changes in the UK have been even more fundamental, with the adoption of the Competition Act 1998 and the prospect of further changes to domestic competition law in the pipeline.Covering all the important developments in this area in a way which is comprehensive yet accessible, Whish: Competition Law will prove invaluable both to law and economic students as well as to practitioners and officials involved in competition law matters."

This book focuses on the problems faced by newly-established competition authorities, and on shaping policies and building institutions in those jurisdictions. In particular four key issues encountered by new competition jurisdictions are considered, namely: the challenges and obstacles to adopting competition laws; institutional challenges and choices, with a specific focus on deterrence; the global perspective, with a specific focus on mergers; and a discussion of how to help young academics in new jurisdictions. Theoretical analysis is informed by practice throughout, and in particular by those considered to be at the cutting edge, either working in new competition authorities or from specialists advising them on a daily basis (such as those in the OECD and UNCTAD). New Competition Jurisdictionswill be of great interest to lawyers, economists, academics, judges and public officials working in the fields of competition law and policy. Contributors:M. Agarwal, M.
