With the above contents, the book provides a basic and in-depth knowledge of competition law to a broad spectrum of readers such as students, scholars and officers of firms involved in commercial transactions. Finally, the book provides a practical guide to attorneys, competition law agencies, and courts in litigation, investigation and determination of competition law disputes.
