Introduction to the Research Handbook on Asian Competition Law

This book aims to elaborate on whether Asian competition laws converge with or diverge from the competition laws that have inspired their drafting. For this reason, the book chapters elaborate on the modelling process of the respective country’s competition law (which competition laws stood as a model for both the original version and, if any, its amendments) and to what extent and for what reason(s) the legislator or enforcer gave his or her own direction to their respective competition law. In other words, the aim is to identify specific characteristics of the respective competition law. This research is done for Cambodia, China PRC, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam.
