Description
The book discusses competition from different theoretical perspectives and examines the implications these viewpoints have for policy. The contributors assess competitiveness in domestic markets and the impact of foreign competition. They also review the experiences of a range of countries in developing competition policy and examine both the strengths and weaknesses of these policies.
Written in a non-technical manner, Competitive Advantage and Competition Policy in Developing Countries is addressed to policymakers, as well as academics, concerned with regulation and competition. It will also be of interest to regulators in dedicated agencies such as utility regulators, competition agencies and those dealing with regulatory impact assessment.

'. . . a very good overview of both industry specific and policy issues facing developing economies as they embrace competition policy. The authors should be congratulated for raising our awareness of an increasingly important area of competition development.' -- Ray Steinwall, Competition and Consumer Law Journal
