The book provides a comprehensive and groundbreaking account of the New EU Competition Law, a discipline that has emerged as a departure from the consensus of the early 2000s and ventured into uncharted territories. This transformative era in competition law has witnessed significant shifts, including the rise and fall of the 'effects-based approach' and the challenges posed by Big Tech and the growing intersection of competition law with intellectual property. Navigating these complex changes and comprehending their far-reaching implications can be a daunting task.

The book delves into the shift from traditional enforcement in the industrial era to the kind of intervention that a knowledge-based economy demands. It explores the profound changes underway in the field, including policy priorities, the relationship between competition law and regulation, and the move away from efficiency and consumer welfare. These developments are illustrated through a detailed examination of the most significant developments in the past decade.

The analysis includes an up-to-date evaluation of the Digital Markets Act, a landmark piece of legislation that aims to address the challenges posed by digital platforms. The book also addresses the application of EU competition law to key areas such as energy, pharmaceuticals, telecommunications, and online platforms. It provides practitioners and advanced students with a valuable tool for navigating the underlying trends and gaining a deep understanding of the key case law and administrative practice of the past decade.

Conceived as a 'modular book,' this resource is designed to serve as a comprehensive guide for practitioners and advanced students alike. It offers a structured approach to understanding the evolving landscape of competition law, allowing readers to navigate the complexities and identify the key legal and policy developments of the past decade. Whether you are a seasoned competition law professional or a student seeking to expand your knowledge, this book will provide you with valuable insights and perspectives.
