US and EC Oligopoly Control

Here is a deeply researched and very detailed book that explores, as thoroughly as has ever been done whether competition law can combat oligopolistic markets. Drawing on the two bodies of law -- U.S. and EC -- that offer the widest range of experience, US and EC Oligopoly Control assesses whether, by the rule of law, the destructive economic trend that is becoming more and more characteristic of today's global economy can be countered by means of applying the core competition provisions. Among the crucial legal concepts examined in the book in depth are the following:
- abuse of a collective dominant position;
- facilitating practices;
- substantial lessening of competition; and
- non-coordinated unilateral effects.
