Overview
This book is an analysis of the linkages between trade policy and competition policy. It is a case study based book that explores the conflicts and complementarities between these policy domains given different industry conditions and market structures. The essential argument is that as the complexity of markets and industry structures increases, the relationships between trade and competition grow in complexity also. The book attempts to classify these different industry conditions into four categories: natural resource, complex manufacturing, R+D intensive and internationally traded service industries. The book offers specific case studies in natural resource and complex manufacturing sectors. Given the current proposals at the World Trade Organization concerning the internationalisation of antitrust policies, this text will serve as a useful guide to both academics and policymakers alike.Synopsis
Exploring on how trade deregulation has led to significant conflict between differing systems of national regulation in the domains of social, environmental, and antitrust policy, Akbar (international business, Southern New Hampshire U.) specifically analyzes the relationship between trade policy and antitrust policy under different industrial structures. He argues that mechanisms for agreement on common rules for antitrust policy need to be developed in order to reduce what has been called system friction.
