Economic Development: the Critical Role of Competition Law and Policy

Competition law and policy is a topical and relevant field of research which has been analysed from both global and national perspectives. This authoritative two-volume collection is the first of its kind to bring together seminal works from leading scholars in economic development and in competition law. Both volumes encompass the most up-to-date and rigorous methodologies of empirical and technical analysis, with a specific focus on the problem of developing countries. The first volume discusses the theoretical and political foundations of competition policies versus industrial policies and the raging debate between market-based versus interventionist industrialization policies. The second volume includes the most relevant literature on competition law and enforcement in developing countries, including a cross section and case study perspective. This important collection, along with an original introduction by the editors, will serve as an excellent reference source for students, scholars and practitioners in the field of economic development.
