Synopsis

<span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">In the past few years, Latin American countries have taken giant steps to reposition their competition authorities in the global antitrust arena, granting them much greater autonomy both domestically and internationally.

At the heart of the presentation are nine chapters detailing the competition regimes of the most active national jurisdictions in the region-Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay. Written by practicing experts with considerable hands-on experience in their respective countries, each of these chapters provides a comprehensive description and explanation of the evolution, current state, and prospects for antitrust in the country. Topics addressed in the country analysis encompass the following and more:</span>

<p style="line-height:150%" class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif; mso-ansi-language:EN-US"> Each chapter includes an analysis of relevant case law, allowing the reader to gauge the positions, views, and tendencies of each competition law regime. The contributors also pay attention to the specificities and idiosyncrasies that are so important for a correct understanding of the practical realities of competition policy and enforcement.</span>

<p style="line-height:150%" class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif; mso-ansi-language:EN-US"> With its wide-ranging and in-depth approach, this book provides an incomparable analysis of a challenging region poised to become increasingly important in the international recognition and enforcement of antitrust law. It is in this sense an essential guide for lawyers, economists, corporations, academics, and government officials interested in understanding where competition law is, and where it is going to, in Latin America.</span>
