‘Competition Law and Policy in the EU and UK is a 'must read' for any student at any level studying competition law on either EU or UK level. Each chapter provides a helpful overview in the beginning and finishes with a summary of key points, a discussion of relevant questions and a list of further reading. This is extremely helpful.’
Dr. Liza Lovdahl Gormsen, Senior Lecturer in Law, Manchester University, UK
'This is an excellent resource for any student taking competition law at both undergraduate and postgraduate level in the EU and the UK. The text is extremely comprehensive covering all of the most interesting and challenging aspects of the competition law syllabus from policy objectives, cartels, abuse of dominance, and mergers to include both public and private enforcement of competition law, as well as details of market investigations. A great advantage of this book lies in its strong and fully up-to-date focus on most recent developments in the UK competition law regime which includes the recently established UK Competition and Markets Authority. In particular its novel chapter on private enforcement of competition law follows recent trends in EU competition law. The text includes useful overviews and cogent summaries as well as further recommended readings. The writing style makes this text highly accessible, while its detailed analysis enables readers to select further key developments in both jurisdictions. It is a very much welcome addition to the literature on competition law and policy and a highly recommended read to students, academics, and practitioners involved in the area of competition law, policy and economics.’
Dr Anca Chirita, Lecturer in Competition Law, Durham Law School, Durham University, UK.
'This edition is an invaluable tool for those studying EU and UK competition law for the first time or at a more advanced level.

'[The authors] have a keen eye for pedagogical developments, now providing the helpful discussion questions and summaries, and updating via the MacCulloch blog. …What we find here is an accurate, reliable, up-to-date and accessible account of the essentials of the subject, which will certainly serve very well the needs of students and more general readers, and provides a sure route into a challenging field of legal discussion.'
Professor Chris Harding, Aberystwyth University, UK
‘an excellent, thoroughly up to date 'one stop shop' for undergraduate students taking a competition law course. The content innovations and structural changes strengthen what was an already excellent wide ranging undergraduate textbook. …The inclusion of a chapter on private enforcement is particularly welcome given the increasingly important role this enforcement option is being given in the UK and the EU. …a must on the core reading list of undergraduate competition law courses and indeed, beyond.’

Mr Andre Naidoo, De Montfort University, UK
