This book constitutes a valuable tool not only for Latin American competition authorities and practitioners, but also for policymakers in developing countries and the worldwide academic and business community. It is also a starting point for increased interaction within the antitrust community in Latin America. Paulo Montt Global Competition Review Vol. 12, Issue 9, October 2009 ...offers an overview of some of the most outstanding aspects of competition law and policy in the context of the major Latin American economies, paying particular attention to the institutional and political environment in which this policy has emerged and needs to (further) develop in the near future...The book makes a major contribution to the still limited literature on Latin American competition policy... Albert Sanchez Graells European Competition Journal Vol 5, No 3, December 2009 Fox and Sokol should be applauded for their selection of contributors, as they are predominantly local practitioners, enforcers, and academics, and they speak with an authority gained from considerable experience in the region...The book thoughtfully analyses the latest developments in the region. It is highly readable and a useful addition for policymakers, practitioners, and interested observers. Maria Coppola World Competition December 2009 Competition Law and Policy in Latin America is an excellent contribution to a field with scarce available literature. This book is a useful resource for libraries, law firms, and academic private collections interested in antitrust matters. Ricardo Jungmann The Antitrust Source December 2009 Competition Law and Policy in Latin American will be of particular interest to competition agencies, academics in law, economics and Latin American studies. However, it is also a useful tool for practitioners around the world in the areas of antitrust and competition policy, policymakers, and journalists. The treatment of "competition policy" provides a useful examination of not only general analysis of competition law in the region and specific competition law issues though case studies, it also evaluates the implementation of the law and the effectiveness of government authorities in doing so, in the context of a developing competition law system.
