Description 1 online resource (xi, 151 pages) : illustrations Series Globalisation, Europe, multilateralism series Globalization, Europe and multilateralism. Contents The EU competition policy dilemma -- The institutional basis of strict and non-discriminatory regulation -- Tension between stringent supranational regulations and national neo-mercantilism -- The issue of discrimination against non-EU firms -- Systemic constraints on the EU's role as a global rule-maker -- The EU : stuck between competition and competitiveness Summary "The book examines whether EU competition policy is applied fairly and consistently to EU and non-EU firms despite persistent political pressure from member states for a relaxation of the rules and deals with the dilemma of regional organisations in the global political economy. Focussing on the EU's desire to achieve balance between the promotion of market competition and the enhancement of international competitiveness, the book explores the validity of its attempts successfully to ensure a 'stringent competition policy' which is nationality-blind and comparatively strict. Finally, it shows that the competition-competitiveness dilemma remains unresolved because the EU's capability to set global regulatory standards is constrained by competition and the need to engage in multilateral forums, such as the WTO and the International Competition Network. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of European Union studies, EU competition law and policy, EU external action and more broadly to global governance, international political economy and international relations"-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Hikaru Yoshizawa is Associate Professor in the Faculty of Law at Kansai University, Japan Description based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on January 04, 2022) Subject Competition -- European Economic Community countries Restraint of trade -- European Economic Community countries POLITICAL SCIENCE / International Relations / Trade & Tariffs Competition Economic policy Restraint of trade SUBJECT European Economic Community countries -- Economic policy. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh89006824 Subject European Economic Community countries Form Electronic book LC no. 2021021899 ISBN 9781003163909 1003163904 9781000466119 1000466116 1000466086 9781000466089
