Populism and Antitrust
Cambridge University Press (Verlag)
978-1-108-48283-7 (ISBN)
Competition law is designed to promote a consumer-friendly economy, but for the law to work in practice, competition agencies - and the courts who oversee them - must enforce it effectively and impartially. Today, however, the rule of populist governments is challenging the foundations of competition law in unprecedented ways. In this comprehensive work, Maciej Bernatt analyses these challenges and describes how populist governments have influenced national and regional (EU) competition law systems. Using empirical findings from Poland and Hungary, Bernatt proposes a new theoretical framework that will allow the illiberal influence of populism on competition law systems to be better measured and understood. Populism and Antitrust will be of interest not only to antitrust and constitutional law scholars, but also to those concerned about the future of liberal democracy and free markets.
Maciej Bernatt is a Professor of the University of Warsaw. He holds a Habilitation, PhD and MA titles in law and a second MA title in international relations (political sciences). He is the director of the Centre for Antitrust and Regulatory Studies and the head of the Department of European Economic Law, Faculty of Management, University of Warsaw (Poland). He is also the Editor-in-Chief of the Yearbook of Antitrust and Regulatory Studies as well as the director of the ASCOLA Central Europe Chapter. He held several visiting fellow appointments at academic institutions in Australia, Germany, and the U.S. He has received several scholarships and research grants, among others, from the Polish-U.S. Fulbright Commission, the Max Planck Institute for Innovation and Competition, and the Polish National Science Centre. Maciej's research interests lie at the intersection of competition law and constitutional law, administrative law and EU law. His research builds on many years of professional experience gained at the Constitutional Tribunal, the Supreme Court of Poland and the Helsinki Foundation for Human Rights as well as broader interests in politics, economics and history.
