The Global Limits of Competition Law
Stanford University press has published a new book entitled The Global Limits of Competition Law edited by Daniel Sokol and Ioannis Lianos.
From Stanford University Press:
“Over the last three decades, the field of antitrust law has grown increasingly prominent, and more than one hundred countries have enacted competition law statutes. As competition law expands to jurisdictions with very different economic, social, cultural, and institutional backgrounds, the debates over its usefulness have similarly evolved.
This book, the first in a new series on global competition law, critically assesses the importance of competition law, its development and modern practice, and the global limits that have emerged. This volume will be a key resource to both scholars and practitioners interested in antitrust, competition law, economics, business strategy, and administrative sciences.”

The International Handbook on Private Enforcement of Competition Law
The American Antitrust Institute has published a new book entitled The International Handbook on Private Enforcement of Competition Law, including chapters on Canada, the United States, Europe, Australia, China, India, South Africa and Brazil, among others.
From Edward Elgar Publishing:
“This comprehensive and well written volume surveys the private enforcement provisions of virtually every country in the world that has a competition law recognizing private actions. It is a first-of-its-kind, incredibly valuable undertaking. In addition to individual country surveys this book includes valuable comparative studies of private enforcement as well as theoretical and empirical analysis of its effects. Every competition lawyer with a multinational practice will benefit from owning it.” (Herbert Hovenkamp, University of Iowa, US)

Global Competition Review (Getting the Deal Through) has recently published several new M&A and regulatory law related global surveys (including Canada) in their rather fine series. From GCR:

New jurisdictions this year include Australia, Bolivia, the Cayman Islands, Delaware, the Republic of Georgia, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Peru, Serbia and Tajikistan. Global and EU overviews are also provided.
