Politics Triumphs
Economics?Political Economy and the Implementation of
Competition Law and Regulation in Developing Countries (Volume II) This volume, second in the series, published under the
‘Competition, Regulation and Development Research Forum’ (CDRF)
project is compilation of nine papers which were presented at the
symposium marking the culmination of the research efforts of the 1st
research cycle of CDRF. The research papers covered the experiences
of a wide range of developing countries as seen mainly through the
eyes of developing country authors. Importantly, rigorous analytical
techniques were used to draw generalisable policy implications,
which were later on also communicated to a vast and heterogeneous
audience of stakeholders in a simplified form through policy briefs
and online forums.
Politics Triumphs
Economics?Political Economy and the Implementation of
Competition Law and Regulation in Developing Countries (Volume I)
This research volume has been published under the ‘Competition,
Regulation and Development Research Forum’ (CDRF) project. A wide
range of issues have been captured in the research volume – for
instance, the political economy underlying the implementation and
enforcement of competition and regulatory laws and regimes, barriers
posed by vested interests to the free and fair functioning of
competition and regulatory regimes and the often choppy relationship
between competition enforcement agencies and regulators attributable
to functional overlap which often delays decisions and is,
therefore, detrimental to the welfare of any country. This book can be purchased at:

Competition Regimes in
the World – A Civil Society Report This report is a compilation that maps out competition regimes
around the world from the civil society perspective. It covers about
120 countries, including European Union (EU), which is a
supra-national jurisdiction. Many countries covered in the report
have a competition legislation in place, while there are others
which do not have one, while some are in the process of adopting a
competition regime. The publication is primarily based on the
voluntary contributions of various International Network of Civil
Society Organisations on Competition (INCSOC) members and other
experts and practitioners.

Towards a Functional
Competition Policy For India (Second Edition) The study tracks the evolution of Competition Policy and Law in
India; discusses the interface of Competition Policy with Government
Policies (at the Federal as well as State level), and Consumer
Welfare; and identifies competition and economic regulation issues
in agriculture, manufacturing, and services. The report itself is
published as two separate volumes. The second one is the present
volume – a more detailed report, carrying all chapters in greater
depth, and is meant for the policy community, particularly those
involved in research. The report (in either format) will serve as a
curtain raiser and as a road map for future work in still greater
depth. This book can be purchased at:

Multilateral Competition
Framework: In Need of a Fresh Approach The issue of competition problems, both domestic and
international is not new and is increasing as the world heads
towards greater economic integration. This discussion paper
identifies the relevant problems and issues, and suggests a way
forward for international cooperation to deal with them. It suggests
that a brand new organisation, dedicated solely to competition
issues under the auspices of the UN, will be the most suitable.
