Abstract:
This chapter surveys the use of anti-dumping (AD) and anti-trust (AT) policies in encouraging and maintaining competition in the international marketplace. The recent surge in the use of AD is documented and the debate on AD versus AT is analyzed, with a particular focus on the experiences of various Regional Trade Agreements. Some of the possible solutions to the debate are evaluated, taking as granted the political constraint that AD cannot be abandoned without an alternative policy being put in its place.
