Course Description:
For the first several decades after the Sherman Act was passed, the U.S. and Canada stood virtually alone in modern competition law enforcement. With the establishment of the European Union in the years after World War II, the EU members took up the challenge of a comprehensive competition law regime and adapted it to their own political and administrative systems. As trade, and trade agreements, proliferated globally so did the demands for effective competition law frameworks. Today, there are well over 100 different national and multinational competition law agencies.
This course sets out to cover a range of questions about the evolution of global competition law: What concepts unite these different frameworks? How has competition law been adapted to very different political and economic circumstances internationally? How has the rise of Big Tech led to changes in international dynamics among competition agencies?
No prior experience in antitrust is required. The basic concepts of antitrust law will be covered in a comparative way. Economic theories will be discussed, but no prior knowledge will be assumed.
