This work investigates the core objectives and legal principles governing Article 102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, specifically addressing the challenges of defining and assessing the abuse of a dominant market position. Renato Nazzini, a recognized scholar in competition law, utilizes a rigorous legal and economic framework to reconcile the historical application of Article 102 with the broader goals of the European Union's internal market. The text argues for a more coherent analytical structure that balances consumer welfare with the protection of the competitive process itself.

Legal scholars and practitioners frequently cite this text as a foundational resource for understanding the complexities of EU dominance law. Experts highlight the book's ability to bridge the gap between abstract economic theory and practical legal application in competition litigation.
