The consensus is clear - climate change is the defining challenge of our time. Meeting this challenge requires a collaborative and inclusive response from all segments of society - including private businesses. What role then for competition law and policy? This important and timely book gathers academics, enforcers, economists, lawyers, and industry representatives to explore the applications and limitations of EU competition law in achieving environmental sustainability aims in line with the European Commission's Green Deal as well as the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. They identify the challenges of integrating environmental considerations into competition analysis presented by the existing framework, whether through cooperation by businesses, practices by dominant companies, or consideration of sustainability efficiencies in merger assessments. Practical examples across various sectors are also provided, alongside agency views from different jurisdictions, to illustrate how competition policy can facilitate a sustainable economy.
Esta serie de cuatro volúmenes analiza las Reformas Estructurales desde varios puntos de vista: la del protagonista que desde el propio órgano estatal preparó y puso en práctica la reforma, y la de dos académicos que desde las perspectivas nacional e internacional desmenuzan el contexto, la puesta en marcha y los retos que conlleva cada una de estas Reformas. El presente volumen aborda la reforma laboral, la reforma en materia de telecomunicaciones, la reforma energética (hidrocarburos y electricidad, respectivamente), y la reforma en materia de competencia económica.

In the 21st century, world politics is becoming increasingly multi-nodal and characterized by "heterarchy" – the coexistence and conflict between differently structured micro- and meso quasi-hierarchies that compete and overlap not only across borders but also across economic-financial sectors and social groupings. Thinking about international order in terms of heterarch...

The different levels of socio-spatial analysis are also explored: ...
