Competition laws, globalization and legal pluralism: China's experience
This book uses socio-legal empirical research to make ground-breaking, pioneering and original contributions to understand how China's rise affected global competition law convergence and legal pluralism. It critically examines origins of global competition norms by analysing the USA, EU and international organizations as actors since 1890, their interactions with China between 2007 and 2012 and establishes that China became an assertive actor in global competition-norms-making despite apparent convergence. It used previously unavailable and hard-to-access primary sources in China, EU, WTO and UNCTAD and required extensive field research (2007-9) and four follow up field trips funded by the BA (2011-13).
