Review :
‘This collection of articles edited by Professor Susan Beth Farmer offers a wide range of specialist comparative studies of EU competition law and US antitrust law. In a world increasingly influenced by the two legal models, this access to an in depth analysis of specific components of almost the entire field of competition policy is a valuable and exceptional addition to the literature.’
