Competition policy is defined as those policies and actions of the state intended to prevent certain restraints of trade by private firms. Canadian laws, institutions, and practices regarding anticompetitive measures have a significant impact on the fairness and efficiency of Canadian business and on the ultimate accrual of the benefits of competition to the Canadian public. This volume reviews how Canada's core competition policy institutions and players, notably the Bureau of Competition Policy and the Director of Investigation and Research, have implemented the Competition Act of 1986 and, in the process, have dealt increasingly with cases requiring some measure of economic analysis and judgment, as opposed to criminal prosecution. The volume also examines the experience of other countries and offers an 8-point comparative framework against which to assess competition regimes. It then suggests options for change in a number of areas of Canadian competition policy.

Offering a unique cross-disciplinary approach to scholarship in law and economics, this much-needed work expounds and critically evaluates all of the major doctrines of Canadian competition policy. The topics addressed, each in a separate chapter, include: Canadian competition policy in an historical context; basic economic concepts; multi-firm conduct; horizontal agreements; the merger review process; predatory pricing and price discrimination; vertical restraints; intra-brand competition; inter-brand competition; abuse of dominance; competition policy and intellectual property rights; competition policy and trade policy; competition policy and regulated industries; and enforcement. The treatment of each substantive topic is organized first around a discussion of the relevant body (or bodies) of economic theory and then the pertinent bodies of legal doctrine, including case law. Each chapter contains a critique of existing law in light of contemporary economic theory. This is the only book available that offers an up-to-date integrated analysis of economic theory and legal doctrine in the context of Canadian competition policy.

This book provides definitive (and in some cases unique) studies of the six 'model' regimes of the USA, Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the European Union. Each chapter is written by eminent country specialists, is based on original research, and is up to date. The comparative dimension is presented in explicit introductory and concluding chapters but the comparison is also set in the context of the globalization of economic activity and the internationalization of policy.
