The aims of the book are threefold; firstly, to elucidate the antecedents of competition policy in the US and Europe and to demonstrate how far a convergence of principles has developed. Secondly, to outline the theory of industrial organisation as a major tool to devise an appropriate policy, and thirdly, to discuss the practice of competition policy in the US, individual European countries and the EC as a whole, in terms of collusion, mergers and vertical restraints. Manfred Neumann comprehensively explores the economic arguments that justify the need for competition policy. He considers the historical development of competition policy and the relationship between competition policy and the objectives of governmental policy as a whole. In conclusion, he argues that competition policy should be regarded as a constituent part of economic and social policy. This enlightening and comprehensive book will be of great value to students, researchers and practitioners of law, corporate strategy and industrial and political economics. 000012496 650_0 $$aBusiness cycles$$zEurope. 000012496 650_0 $$aCompetition$$zEurope. 000012496 650_0 $$aIndustrial policy$$zEurope. 000012496 650_0 $$aCompetition. 000012496 650_0 $$aCompetition, International. 000012496 650_0 $$aIndustrial policy. 000012496 650_0 $$aBusiness cycles. 000012496 650_4 $$aIndustrial economics 000012496 650_6 $$aPolitique industrielle. 000012496 651_0 $$aCompetition policy$$xCommerce$$xLaw and legislation. 000012496 651_0 $$aEurope$$xCommerce$$xLaw and legislation. 000012496 653__ $$aGlobalization 000012496 85641 $$uhttps://www.elgaronline.com/display/book/9781035304172/9781035304172.xml$$yView eBook 000012496 942__ $$cMON$$jT 24 NEU.C 000012496 952__ $$w2006-11-03$$p2001-0150$$r200.30$$u13341$$bMAIN$$10$$kT 24 NEU.C$$v2001-03-06$$ztagged$$71 000012496 980__ $$aBIB$$aOS 000012496 999__ $$c12943$$d12943
