Competition Law in Asia-Pacific. A Practical Guide

Competition Law in Asia-Pacific provides you with a practical, full-length guide to competition law and practice in the Asia-Pacific region. Drawing on the experience of recognized competition law practice leaders in key jurisdictions, it will help you navigate the competition landscape in 15 countries – from the most developed regimes, to countries where competition law and policy are still emerging.

With an individual chapter for every country you’ll find it easy to refer to, and compare, the key provisions of each country’s competition law and practice. Its practical guidance will help you navigate long-established competition law regimes such as those in Japan, South Korea and New Zealand, as well as more recently established regimes such as those in Malaysia and Singapore. The authors also provide an overview of proposed competition law and policy in jurisdictions such as Cambodia and Laos, where regimes have not yet been implemented.

The various jurisdictional approaches to merger control illustrate differing economic priorities. To help you make the right decisions the authors explain the origins, powers and approach of competition law decision-makers and law-makers in each country, and describe key enforcement action and cases. This valuable insight will show you not only the regulators' approach to enforcement, but also the approach of businesses to compliance.
