Combatting Corruption and Collusion in Public Procurement
'Corruption' in public procurement typically involves procurement decisions taken in favour of preferred bidders in exchange for improper compensation (the acceptance of bribes, for example), while supplier collusion refers to a type of cartel activity, in which firms rig their bids in a tendering process. Although these practices are distinct, they frequently occur together in the public procurement context, reinforcing one another. Combatting Corruption and Collusion in Public Procurement: A Challenge for Governments Worldwide examines the causes of corruption and collusion in the public procurement sphere, its resulting harm, and how states can best try to combat these practices. This boo...
Conflict of interests in high-tech investment advisory
What are the potential sources of conflict of interests in investment advisory services and how should the law design legal tools of retail investor protection? These are the questions addressed by this book, which explores the new legal challenges of investor protection in the context of digital investment platforms and genAI advisors. The author analyses the investor protection tools provided by competition law, regulatory and private law frameworks, taking Brazil as case study, where investment advisory experienced a unique market change and a major regulatory reform. This book addresses a worldwide audience and concludes with a set of policy recommendations.
Corporate Crime and Punishment
The geopolitics of American law enforcement and how it changed corporate criminal accountability in other countries Over the past decade, many of the world’s biggest companies have found themselves embroiled in legal disputes over corruption, fraud, environmental damage, tax evasion, or sanction violations. Corporations including Volkswagen, BP, and Credit Suisse have paid record-breaking fines. Many critics of globalization and corporate impunity cheer this turn toward accountability. Others, however, question American dominance in legal battles that seem to impose domestic legal norms beyond national boundaries. In this book, Cornelia Woll examines the politics of American corporate crim...

Women in Antitrust
This is the first international book of the Women in Antitrust Network and we could not be more grateful for the opportunity to carry out this project and happier with the result. The ambition to organize a book written by women from different countries and nationalities rose from the success of the national book "Mulheres no Antitruste", which is already in its 6th edition, as well as from the WIA's dream of expanding the reach of its projects and introducing them to women from antitrust academic community outside Brazil. Aiming to understand and pursue the most recent discussions on Antitrust Law in different jurisdictions, we invited brilliant authors to contribute with unpublished articl...

Competition
The proliferation of economic agents with market power, especially those operating in the digital economy and which add unprecedented dynamic and complexity to it, has sparked heated discussions among academics, professionals, and competition authorities around the world regarding the effects of their actions on the market and consumers. Unlike classic cartels – a conduct that has been treated as per se unlawful in Brazil, regardless of the production of effects under Brazilian competition law – unilateral conduct falls into a gray area, encompassing different practices with different effects on the market. In this sense, examples of unilateral conduct that may be considered anticompetit...

Perspectivas e controvérsias da inovação regulatória no sistema financeiro de pagamentos
O mercado de meios de pagamento, as inovações no sistema financeiro brasileiro e a relação desse desenvolvimento com a concorrência são foco de debate já há algum tempo. Não é de hoje que a academia e o mercado se debruçam sobre os impactos da atuação das autoridades, notadamente Banco Central do Brasil (BCB) e Conselho Administrativo de Defesa Econômica (Cade), para elos específicos da cadeia de pagamentos. Ocorre que, em boa medida, o debate permaneceu por muito tempo circunscrito a um grupo reduzido de atores – as próprias autoridades, é claro, além das empresas, advogados e economistas envolvidos nas discussões. No entanto, com a expansão do mercado, especialmente c...
