It examines various approaches and schools of thought regarding the goals of competition law and how these play out within jurisdictional parameters. The history of enforcement of American antitrust is scrutinised to establish the nature of the interplay between greater economic policy direction and the goals of competition law. The study also explores the issue of convergence and whether developing jurisdictions should align their competition law to that of developed jurisdictions with mature competition law.en© 2023 University of Pretoria.
