Details

This new edition of the 'bible' for international antitrust lawyers has been greatly enlarged to provide explanation of merger regulations in nearly 50 countries. Now published in looseleaf format for easy updating, it contains over 2,500 pages of highly practical analysis.

* A standard format for all chapters enables the practitioner to pursue effectively the same issue across a number of jurisdictions
* A streamlined version of the format for jurisdictions with less-developed merger control regimes has been created to help describe complex variations between systems and give the reader a useful way to make convenient cross-reference
* Provides access to information that is otherwise difficult or impossible for practitioners to obtain
* A new introductory chapter sets the antitrust process in context, in terms of principles, processes and politics
