In this second volume of the Douglas H. Ginsburg Liber Amicorum, the reader will find a series of essays no less brilliant than those in the first. Emphasis is, rightly, placed on Judge Ginsburg's contribution to the structured analysis of antitrust problems, whether in terms of the rule of reason, the shifting burden of proof, or the assessment of potentially anticompetitive mergers. The volume carries articles by distinguished contributors on some of the most important and topical questions in modern antitrust, and in doing so salutes the outstanding career of Judge Ginsburg, and adds significantly to the scholarship with which his name is already synonymous.

Global Competition Enforcement New Players, New Challenges Edited by Paulo Burnier da Silveira & William Evan Kovacic In a short span of years, the landscape of global competition has changed significantly. In particular, international cooperation in competition law enforcement has greatly strengthened the battle against abuse of dominance, cartels, anticompetitive mergers and related political corruption. This thoroughly researched book explains the current situation regarding joint investigations, identifies common problems and considers possible solutions and future developments. In addition to covering issues of competition policy, its authors look in detail at practice in both merger and conduct investigations in a variety of countries. The following aspects of the subject and more are examined in depth: the interface between antitrust and anti-corruption; the digital economy’s challenges to competition authorities; convergent aims and rules among different competition authorities; regional organizations with competition mandates; competition neutrality and state-owned enterprises; and leniency programmes. Although necessarily there is considerable information on major antitrust regimes like those of the United States and the European Union, chapters by local experts highlight lessons to be learned from the work of competition authorities in five continents including Argentina, Australia, Brazil, China, Colombia, India, Japan, Mauritius, Mexico, Peru and South Africa. The contributors include competition enforcers, regulators, academics, practitioners and leading commentators from a range of jurisdictions. Adding up to an authoritative analysis from the enforcer’s perspective, the studies presented in the book clarify the approaches and priorities of competition enforcement authorities – including those of major emerging economies – and provide expert guidance on dealing with transnational investigations. Antitrust lawyers, corporate counsel and interested academics as well as policymakers will benefit immeasurably from this book’s wealth of informative detail.

Competition enforcement authorities use settlements as a tool to ensure compliance with antitrust law. Companies can make commitments to remedy breaches, ensuring that they avoid litigation and potential fines and reputational damage. The author of this highly original and innovative book shows that, rather than fines or arguing principles of competition law in litigation, antitrust settlements (namely U.S. consent decrees and EU commitment decisions) hold the key to globally effective enforcement, particularly in the digital and blockchain era. Antitrust law does not necessarily need to be abolished, but rather should be fully exploited as an economic regulation led by antitrust settlements. In supporting her thesis, the author examines such elements of competition enforcement as the following: drawbacks of allowing the courts to regulate markets; whether antitrust settlements sacrifice antitrust deterrence; how settlements rapidly and surgically regulate markets; comparative analysis between U.S. consent decrees and EU commitment decisions; economic analysis on the adoption of antitrust settlements in both the U.S. and EU markets from 2013 to 2018; fundamental role of antitrust settlements in regulating the current digital markets; and comprehensive description on how to use antitrust settlements to regulate the data industry. With its thorough guidance on U.S. consent decrees and EU commitment decisions from their functioning to their characteristics and procedure—and its extensive treatment of the main antitrust remedies available and used in enforcing of antitrust law in both the U.S. and EU—the book provides both an economic and a legal analysis of the functioning and the scope of antitrust settlements. It assesses the influence of decisions on companies’ behavior and agencies’ practice, using economic analysis to show the procompetitive or anticompetitive effects of remedies, with special attention to digital markets. Because markets have become so dynamic and unpredictable that is difficult to preserve efficiency, the author says, there is a little room for law—economic regulation is a better fit. This book is a springboard to further investigate how a simple antitrust enforcement tool, having turned competition law into an economic regulation policy, can drive our economy, leading both the antitrust and regulatory interventions in tackling today’s market challenges.

Examines the current state of economic regulation of renewable electricity and explores the possibilities for future harmonized EU regulation.

Der Sammelband nahert sich aus verschiedenen Blickrichtungen der Idee des Konstitutionalismus. Er zielt dabei nicht auf die Darlegung geschlossener Erklarungsmuster, sondern entfaltet vielmehr die Offenheit und Vielgestaltigkeit einer Debatte um konstitutionelle Entwicklungen. Aus rechtswissenschaftlicher und politologischer Sicht werden nationale, europaische und internationale Entwicklungen im Kontext ihrer rechtshistorischen und -theoretischen Relevanz analysiert. Die Frage, ob und inwieweit die Vorstellungen vom Konstitutionalismus als Ordnungsmuster greifbar sind oder nur halluzinativ, beschaftigt die Autoren ebenso wie rechtsvergleichende, medienrechtliche, legitimatorische und menschenrechtliche Dimensionen der Debatte. Zudem werden verfassungsrechtliche Gefahrdungslagen abgetastet und ein mit Ironie angereicherter Blick aus der Warte der Critical Legal Studies gewagt. In Ansehung seines kritischen Blicks auf die Verfasstheit politischer Gemeinwesen stammen die einzelnen Beitrage von biographischen und thematischen Weggefahrten des Frankfurter Verfassungsrechtlers und Rechtsphilosophen Gunter Frankenberg.

Tacitus works still have a profound effect on the way we see the early Roman Principate. However, the level of truth in this picture must be examined critically. For on closer analysis, in his portrayal Tacitus did not always stick to his principle of impartial reporting. Often the apparent objectivity of the description of events has an undertone of purely subjective interpretation. Drawing on the books covering the reigns of Tiberius and Claudius, this volume traces the various techniques Tacitus used to influence his reader. "
