Item type:Publication, What can we really learn from the competition provisions of regional trade agreements?Even though members of the World Trade Organization decided not to negotiate a multilateral framework on competition policy in the context of the Doha Round a growing number of them have agreed to international rules on competition law and policy in regional trade agreements (RTAs). Having summarized the main types of competition provisions in RTAs, this chapter then explores the possible lessons of this form of international rule-making for potential future multilateral initiatives on competition law and its enforcement. It is argued that, at the moment, particular care must be taken not draw erroneous conclusions for the latter.Type:book section - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, What is the Relationship between Competition Law and Policy and Economic Development?What possible contributions to economic development can the appropriate enforcement of competition law make? What harm could result from such enforcement? These two questions are uppermost in the minds of many policymakers, analysts, and scholars as they debate the merits of introducing and then implementing national competition laws. Now that, according to some counts nearly 100 nations-many of which are in the Asia-Pacific-have adopted competition laws, one might have thought this debate has been won by advocates of such legislation. However, both supporters and opponents are well aware that the effects of competition law can be neutralized or offset well after the enactment of legislation, through denying the relevant enforcement agency the resources, the freedom, and the political support to complete its assigned functions. Therefore, the debates over the merits of competition law continue and the objective of this chapter is to state and evaluate the many ways in which fostering inter-firm rivalry can alter different aspects of national economic performance. A number of competing perspectives are discussed in section three of this chapter. First, however, the technical nature of the debate over competition law requires clarification of the meaning of a number of important terms used in the existing literature. The payoff from this is to highlight the important difference between competition law and competition policy, two terms that are frequently confused in policy debates. The next section of this chapter is devoted to such matters and sets the stage for the substantive discussion that follows.Type:book section - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Would Enforcing Competition Law Compromise Industry Policy Objectives?One recurring concern in the debate over the efficacy of enacting competition laws in developing countries is that its enforcement may compromise important industrial policy goals. This concern has been raised in regional fora and in multilateral organizations such as the World Trade Organization, where officials have considered the pros and cons of including competition provisions in international trade agreements. However, the concern is broader and often national debates over the merits of adopting a competition law touch on the implications for the operation of national industrial policies. In fact, as the chapters in this book on China, Malaysia, and Vietnam attest the apparent primacy given to industrial policy has substantially colored recent debates over whether to adopt a competition law. Given the recent upturn in interest in industrial policy in Europe and in Latin America, and the considerable dissatisfaction with the Washington Consensus elsewhere in the developing world, the discussion in this chapter will also be of interest to scholars and policymakers outside of East Asia. In Europe, none other than the European Commissioner for Industry was reported in January 2005 as calling for the re-evaluation of the way in which prospective mergers and acquisitions are reviewed (a form of competition law enforcement) so as to bolster international competitiveness, which is a traditional industrial policy goal.Type:book section - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
