Competition and development : the power of competitive markets

Abstract

Library has French version: Concurrence et le développement : la puissance des marchés concurrentielsLibrary has Spanish version: Competencia y desarrollo : el poder de los mercados competitivosThe growth of privatization and international trade and investment, and the spread of bilateral and multilateral trade agreements have increased economic integration, affecting almost all nations of the world. This new reliance on private enterprise has brought about many changes in the economic structure and production capacity of developing countries. However, it has also made developing countries more vulnerable to new and harmful types of anticompetitive business practices. Putting effective policies in place to ensure that businesses compete is a complex and difficult task. This book and its accompanying website demonstrate the importance of true and fair competition to sustainable development and an effective marketplace, touching on issues of globalization, consumer welfare, cartels and monopolies, and trade liberalization
