With contributions from leading scholars from all over Europe and the US, this book covers the major areas of substantive competition law from an evolutionary perspective. The leitmotiv of the book has been to assess the dividing line between safeguarding and regulating competition, which it does by reviewing the following subjects:








foundations of competition policy in the EU and the US


strategic competition policy


the evolution of European competition law from a national (Italian) perspective


the block exemption of vertical agreements after four years


the new Technology Transfer Block Exemption


cooperative networking


mergers in the media sector


abuse of market power


concepts of competition in sector specific regulation


competition, regulation and systems coherence


efficiency claims in EU competition law and sector specific regulation.





The Evolution of European Competition Law will be of great interest to lawyers, economists, academics, judges and public officials working in the fields of competition law and policy.
