Corporate Law and Competition Law have traditionally evolved in parallel, often operating in isolation from one another. Yet both fields offer vital insights into some of the most pressing questions about how we structure firms and regulate markets. The Research Handbook on Competition and Corporate Law is to be commended for bringing these two disciplines into conversation, illuminating both their tensions and their synergies. It offers a rich and thought-provoking collection of perspectives that challenges conventional boundaries and opens up new avenues for understanding and reform. A hugely informative and intellectually stimulating resource for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners alike. -- Wolf-Georg Ringe, University of Hamburg, Germany For too long, antitrust policy has tried to isolate itself from other disciplinesat its own peril. In this book, a star group of scholars successfully bridge competition and corporate law, making it an essential contribution to competition law academia. -- Filippo Lancieri, Georgetown University, USA The Research Handbook on Competition and Corporate Law, edited by Florence Thépot and Anna Tzanaki, is a comprehensive and path-breaking collection of extremely interesting chapters dealing with the intersection between antitrust and corporate law. This intersection is particularly compelling, because the two fields share audiences of similar backgrounds. Furthermore, the two fields often meet, and in a way often yield counterintuitive and intriguing results. -- David Gilo, Tel Aviv University, Israel This impressive Research Handbook is a major achievement. It brings together more than 20 chapters and nearly 40 authors in a compelling encounter where competition law, corporate law and corporate structure intersect. Many of the contributors, including the editors, have been in the vanguard of these crucial fields of research. -- Mel Marquis, Monash University Law School, Australia This Research Handbook addresses an important need to understand the intersection of competition law and corporate law. There has been a resurgence within competition law scholarship on the importance of corporate law issues such as board level fiduciary duties, questions of governance and compliance, and the integration of both theoretical and empirical work in finance and economics. This reshaping of the intersection of both areas of law and the Handbook contributions capture this changing scholarly landscape. -- D. Daniel Sokol, USC Gould School of Law and Marshall School of Business, USA The book provides a nuanced examination of the complex interdependencies between corporate structure, ownership, governance, and market dynamics. An esteemed group of authors highlights the corporations pivotal role in antitrust discourse, offering valuable insights for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers. -- Stefan Thomas, Tübingen University, Germany This book offers an insightful and innovative analysis of the intersection between competition law and corporate law. Featuring contributions from leading scholars and economists, it provides fresh perspectives on key issues such as common ownership, killer acquisitions, and inter-firm co-operation to attain ESG goals. An essential resource for anyone seeking to understand the evolving dynamics of modern business law. -- Luca Enriques, Bocconi University, Italy I love that this book goes where others dont, offering a rare international perspective on the interplay of corporate governance and competition. It tackles important topics often overlooked in mainstream journals. -- Martin Schmalz, University of Oxford, UK,P> A thorough and insightful work on the relationship between corporate law and competition law. A must read for practitioners and researchers wishing to delve into an underexplored relationship between these closely linked but separate fields of law. Not to be missed! -- Antonio Capobianco, OECD, France
