Details
Competition Law in Latin America, currently in its second edition, is an updated version of the first book analyzing in depth the giant steps taken by the Latin American countries to reposition their competition authorities in the global antitrust realm, awarding them increased autonomy both domestically and internationally.

What’s in this book:

The first part of the book comprises more general chapters penned by leading experts on several relevant topics analyzed at a regional level such as the issues emerging with the digital economy and on the special field of the information and communications technology industry, as well as chapters on broad regional trends, on the working of competition law in countries with regulated markets and the cluster of Central American countries, inter alia. At the core of the compendium are nine chapters elaborating the competition regimes of the most active national jurisdictions in the region—Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay. Authored by practicing experts with considerable pragmatic experience in their respective countries, each of these chapters presents an exhaustive description and explanation of the evolution, current state, and prospects for antitrust in the country. The following and more topics have been elucidated in the country analysis:
- relevant institutions and legislation;
- cartel investigations;
- unilateral conduct policies;
- merger review;
- international coordination;
- enforcement; and
- remedies.
Each chapter delves deep into the relevant case law, enabling the reader to gauge the positions, views, and tendencies of each competition law regime. The contributors also focus on the specificities and idiosyncrasies that are key for a correct understanding of the practical realities of competition policy and enforcement.

How this will help you:

The extensive and thorough approach of this book furnishes a nonpareil analysis of a challenging region confident to become highly crucial in the international recognition and enforcement of antitrust law. In this sense, it will prove to be a vital guide for lawyers, economists, corporations, academics, and government officials interested in understanding where competition law in Latin America is and where it is going.
