Asian Capitalism and the Regulation of Competition: Towards a Regulatory Geography of Global Competition Law

Description

Asian Capitalism and the Regulation of Competition explores the implications of Asian forms of capitalism and their regulation of competition for the emerging global competition law regime. Expert contributors from a variety of backgrounds explore the topic through the lenses of formal law, soft law and transnational regulation, and make extensive comparisons with Euro-American and global models. Case studies include Japan, China and Vietnam, and thematic studies include examinations of competition law's relationship with other regulatory terrains such as public law, market culture, regulatory geography and transnational production networks.

'The editors have certainly succeeded in their announced intention: to introduce Asian-inspired diversity of approaches and opinions worded as 'regulatory geography' into the global competition law discourse.' Alexandr Svetlicinii, European Competition Law Review
