AAT is pleased to announce publication of a new book on competition law & ‘choice’, aptly titled Choice: A New Standard for Competition Law Analysis?, which offers exhaustive and multifaceted discussions on the crucial concept of consumer choice and its relevance for modern competition law.  Our partner Concurrences Review has made it available at its Concurrences website and on Amazon.

Ten prominent authors offer eleven contributions that provide their varying perspectives on the subject of consumer choice.  Various aspects of consumer choice are covered, such as the concept of freedom of choice in the application of EU competition law; the antitrust enforcement application of consumer choice by agencies; the historical origin of consumer choice as a concept grounded in German ordoliberalism; the economic approach adopted as well as the use of consumer welfare and consumer choice in competition law to reconcile it with intellectual property law; consumer choice as a mean to facilitate convergence between varying jurisdictions, and so on.
