CLP - Competition Law in Developing Countries: From Fair to Free to Perfect Markets

This lecture will be delivered by Dr Dina Waked, as part of the Current Legal Problems Lecture Series 2022-23 Speaker: Dr Dina Waked (SciencesPo Law School) Chair: Simon Holmes (UK Competition Appeal Tribunal) About the lecture Competition law is so malleable that it can be used in many different ways to structure markets and regulate the conduct of firms therein. The never-ending debates about the purpose and goals of competition laws testifies to the multiplicity of objectives these laws can attain. Over the years, the image of the ideal market has changed - from fair to free to perfect, and competition laws and policies have accommodated this transformation. This has forever changed how our markets are constructed, the role of the state and the bargaining of actors therein. Developing countries have rarely taken the space, both in legal, economic and also political terms to choose the market structure and corresponding competition law and policy that suits them best. In this talk I aim to focus on these choices from the perspective of the Global South particularly in relation to: (1) the efficiency of the market; (2) the notion of perfect competition; (3) the freedom of actors; (4) and redistribution of power and resources.
