Opis

Among the crucial issues investigated are the following:
- the costs of absorbing a new technology;
- distinct and evolving national competition policies and the fabric of world trade;
- extraterritorial enforcement and cooperation agreements;
- criteria for 'material injury' in international trade rules;
- collusive technology transfer barriers;
- the re-emergence of transnational cartels; and
- the tendency of anti-dumping rules to foster cartelization.
The major competiti policy issues on the international agenda - the harmonization of national policies and international trade rules; the integration of intellectual property rights, technology transfer, and investment; and enforcement cooperation across borders - are all analyzed in depth from many different angles. This is an enormously important and valuable book for practitioners, government officials, and academics in this critical area of contemporary law and policy.
