This Research Handbook explores the complex interplay between competition law and sustainability, and also provides key insights into the role and limitations that tax, environmental laws, consumer laws, and social laws have in promoting sustainability.
A distinguished array of international experts examine core principles of environmental and social sustainability, delve into the economic dynamics that shape this multidimensional relationship, and critically analyse how competition law and policy can both positively and negatively shape sustainability outcomes. The Research Handbook presents a detailed overview of various policy questions surrounding sustainability and antitrust law - considering their economic, legal, and institutional aspects - and includes diverse jurisdictional perspectives which highlight the many nuances in this increasingly relevant interface.
The Research Handbook on Sustainability and Competition Law is an essential resource for academics, researchers, and students of competition and antitrust law and environmental law. Its in-depth exploration of economic analysis, policy perspectives, and different legal avenues also make it an invaluable resource for legal professionals, policymakers, and government officials.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
'With an interdisciplinary and cross jurisdictional approach, the Research Handbook on Sustainability and Competition Law offers a much needed comprehensive coverage of its subject matter. For anyone interested in key questions pertaining to sustainability this is a must read.' -- Maria Ioannidou, Queen Mary University of London, UK 'Antitrust economics and policy cannot ignore the market and regulatory failures that caused the climate and biodiversity crises. This comprehensive, excellent, and insightful book discusses the issues in-depth. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand how antitrust law has adapted and will continue to evolve to address sustainability.' -- Maurits Dolmans, Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP, London and Brussels
