New EU Competition Law, The

Rate this book
This book provides the first comprehensive account of the New EU Competition an emerging understanding of the discipline that breaks from the consensus that emerged in the early 2000s and that leads it into uncharted territories. Competition law has undergone fundamental transformations in the past from the rise and fall of the 'effects-based approach' to the challenge of Big Tech and the growing interaction with intellectual property. Making sense of these changes and fully grasping their implications can be difficult.

The book discusses the shift from traditional enforcement in the industrial era to the sort of regulatory intervention that a knowledge-based economy demands. It presents the changes that the field is undergoing (policy priorities, relationship with regulation and intangible assets, move away from efficiency and consumer welfare) and illustrates them by reference to the most significant developments in the field.

The analysis includes an up-to-date evaluation of the Digital Markets Act and discusses the application of EU competition law to key areas, including energy, pharma, telecommunications, and online platforms. The companion website ( ) provides access to the data behind the charts and tables included in the book, and gives readers the tools to investigate the latest developments in this fast-changing area.

Conceived as a 'modular' book, practitioners and advanced students will find it useful as a map to navigate the underlying trends in the field and as an in-depth dissection of the key case law and administrative practice of the past decade.

A great read for anyone seeking to make sense of the rise of tech regulation in the EU

This is a short and accessible text for competition lawyers and lay readers alike from Professor Colomo of LSE. There are few texts which describe the larger contours of contemporary abuse of dominance enforcement and tech regulation with a twist of intellectual property law interface so this comes highly recommended for at the same time doing depth and brevity!
