<i>'This is an important and very well crafted set of essays, particularly valuable for anyone trying to appreciate the considerable changes that have occurred in European competition law over the last two decades.'</i>

- Herbert Hovenkamp, European Law Review,

<i>'Professor Ullrich is thoughtful and attracted star scholars from many countries, so the papers and discussion are provocative and introduce recent economic thinking, although many are written by lawyers. . . The text is lucid and interesting, the thought innovative and anyone seriously interested in competition policy should read these papers and the comments with pleasure.'</i>

- Valentine Korah, World Competition,

<i>'This collection of papers and comments deserves to be widely read, and it should appeal to academics and practitioners alike. The great mix of topics and the variety of views offered make this a very stimulating contribution to the discussion of the new paradigm of EC competition law, the more economic approach, and its implications for the application and interpretation of the various EU antitrust rules.'</i>

- Thomas Eilmansberger, European Law Journal,
