About this book

This collection provides the first authoritative comparison of competition policy in the main capitalist economies. It takes a public policy approach which cuts through the traditional arenas of lawyers and economists to deal with the role of institutions, policy processes, and political priorities. This book provides definitive (and in some cases unique) studies of the six 'model' regimes of the USA, Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the European Union. Each chapter is written by eminent country specialists, is based on original research, and is up to date. The comparative dimension is presented in explicit introductory and concluding chapters but the comparison is also set in the context of the globalization of economic activity and the internationalization of policy. The book therefore caters to the distinctive economic policy predicament of the 1990s - the breakdown of national models in the face of globalizing pressures. This study promises to become a standard work which will appeal to students of political science and public policy but will also be of intense interest to lawyers and practitioners. Further, since an understanding of competition policy is essential to an understanding of international competitiveness, students of economics, business studies, and political economy will find this a valuable and suggestive study.

Political resurrection in the twentieth century

Leslie Derfler

Charles de Gaulle of France, Juan Per̤n of Argentina, and Pierre Elliott Trudeau of Canada all achieved the pinnacle of political power, fell from or relinquished power, and then, after a period in the political wilderness, regained their power. By placing greater emphasis than that customarily accorded by biographers on the interment that followed their fall and preceded their resurrection, Derfler describes what they did, the lessons they learned, and the mistakes made by their successors that facilitated their reentry.

E-Governance

Perri 6

"The e-governance revolution is said to be changing everything in the public sector. However, will all the modelling tools, electronic meeting management systems and online consultations really change political judgment in policy formulation? Using new case studies from local and national government in the USA, the UK and Europe, E-governance examines these claims in detail. Perri 6 presents a distinctive account of what political judgment actually is, considered as an organisational process. He then presents a new theory of how policy-makers use and reject information and do and do not trust each other with information in using the new tools, before analysing the implications for democracy. The book concludes by identifying some practical ways forward for policy-makers."--BOOK JACKET.
