Law and Politics of Global Competition

Explore the intricate relationship between law and global competition in Law and Politics of Global Competition by Christopher Townley. Published by Oxford University Press in 2022, this compelling hardback spans 400 pages, delving into the influential mechanisms established by the International Competition Network (ICN). Townley presents a thought-provoking hypothesis that examines how these structures empower stronger National Competition Authorities (NCAs) and Non-Governmental Authorities (NGAs) over their weaker counterparts, as well as the role of 'competition experts' in shaping broader state interests. Through a rigorous analysis grounded in political and legal theory, the book evaluates the legitimacy, effectiveness, and efficiency of the ICN, making it an essential read for scholars and practitioners interested in the dynamics of global competition law.
