The Fundamental Forces Shaping International Competition Law
This chapter argues that the international competition law system is fundamentally shaped by the nature of international relations and the self-interested behaviour of states. It identifies a number of constraints on the development of international competition law, including the concept and implications of subsidiarity, the principle of sovereignty, autonomy and opportunism, and legitimacy of decision-making processes. The forms and facilitators of international cooperation are discussed.
Keywords: international relations, international cooperation, subsidiarity, sovereignty, autonomy, opportunism, WTO
