Combining a variety of perspectives, this accessible Research Handbook provides a comprehensive and in-depth analysis of the most significant issues pertaining to the legal regulation of cartel activity.

Its interdisciplinary team of top scholars explores theoretical, legal, economic, political, and comparative discourse surrounding cartel regulation. Collectively, its chapters address the major economic, substantive, and procedural issues encountered in cartel law and provide practical insight into the experiences of numerous jurisdictions from across the globe concerning anti-cartel enforcement. Rigorous and authoritative, this Research Handbook captures the informed views of various stakeholders in the debate at hand, including those of competition law academics, competition law economists, practising lawyers, and competition law enforcers.

Given its scope and depth, this Research Handbook will be essential reading for academics, practitioners, and policymakers interested in competition law generally and in cartel law in particular. It will also be beneficial as a supplementary reading resource for students of competition law, most notably those examining the issues of cartel regulation.
