Book Description

This book develops a timely analysis of the complex trends and transformations emerging in EU competition law in the current turbulent times.Repeated economic crises, the climate emergency, digitalisation, and geopolitical and democratic threats are all having profound societal and economic effects on the EU. In light of its fundamental role in the Treaties, EU competition law has been called upon to play an important role in responding to this state of 'turbulence'. This brings about significant goveance and constitutional challenges, firstly by questioning how the goveance of EU competition law is being transformed to respond and adapt. Secondly, these crisis-induced transformations probe the logic and constitutional limits of EU competition law within the framework of EU law. This collection brings together EU institutional and competition lawyers to reflect on the goveance and constitutional challenges emerging from the post-modeisation evolution of EU competition law against the backdrop of the recent multiple crises in the EU. The essays focus on the substantive and procedural developments across the three main policy areas of EU competition law:antitrust, merger control and State aid. EU constitutional and competition lawyers will be interested in this important new collection.
