Despite the continuing inter-government cooperation over the regulation of international commerce, significant cross-country differences persist in areas such as merger control, notification to authorities, and remedies deemed appropriate for antitrust enforcement. Accordingly, companies must be aware of the rules that apply in the countries in which they do business. This fourth edition of the Kintner-Joelson classic International Antitrust Primerprovides a thorough update of the status of competition regulation in a number of key jurisdictions, including up-to-date case law involving the technology giants Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Apple, and Facebook. Coverage focuses on the European Union and the United States — which continue to be foremost in the enforcement and refinement of comprehensive competition laws — but also takes into account the vast strides that are being made elsewhere, with chapters on South Korea, Japan, and India, as well as a chapter on the United Kingdom with a section on the post-Brexit implications. The book provides essential guidance on such issues of concern to business persons and their counsel as the following: • intellectual property rights; • extent and kind of criminal sanctions; • extraterritorial reach; • mergers and acquisitions; • level and type of enforcement activity; • effects of national foreign or domestic policy; • permissible cooperation among competitors; and • public procurement. Business persons, government officials, students, lawyers, and others who have been relying on this preeminent resource for years will greatly appreciate this thoroughly updated edition. There is nothing else that so lucidly and helpfully explains competition law for those who require a working knowledge of the subject to proceed confidently in their day-to-day work.
In their pioneering first edition of this work in 1974, the authors, Earl W. Kintner and Mark R. Joelson, pointed out that the coming era of increasingly interdependent national economies and powerful multinational enterprises posed a great challenge from the viewpoint of competition regulation. The need to foster competition in a globalized economy characterized by international transactions and relationships, accomplished at great speed, required new approaches by national regulators and even consideration of international rules. Twenty seven years later, the globalized economy is an acknowledged fact, and some 90 nations maintain competition regimes, in an effort to keep their economies free of cartels and abuses imposed by dominant firms. In consequence, the focus has shifted from efforts to legitimize competition laws as a necessary element of universal economic policy to the pursuit of internationally acceptable and effective means for assuring and regulating business competition on a global scale. In this second edition, Mark R. Joelson brings up to date the discussion of the status of and prospects for competition regulation, focussing on several important regimes. The book contains detailed summaries of the antitrust laws of the United States and the competition laws of the European Communities, including the case law. It also reviews the applicable competition laws and important developments in Canada, Mexico, the U.K. and Japan. The work contains the essential information in a single volume for easy and practical use by the business person, journalist, lawyer or student who wishes to become familiar with this field.
