This book addresses a central element of the newest round of reforms: the restriction of anticompetitive practices. Providing one of the first studies to explore the topic, the authors trace the development of competition policy in Latin America, where that policy stands today, and how it may be reconceptualized and deployed as a tool for consolidating the region's economic future UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9781685851958 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781685851958 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781685851958/original ER -
