How can economic analysis be effectively integrated into the legal framework of European Union merger control to ensure robust competition enforcement? Ioannis I. Kokkoris, an expert in competition law and economics, synthesizes complex legal statutes with economic theory to provide a comprehensive guide for practitioners and scholars. The text argues that modern merger control requires a dual-lens approach, where procedural compliance and economic impact assessment are treated as interdependent components of the regulatory process.

Legal scholars and competition practitioners frequently cite this work as a foundational text for understanding the intersection of economic theory and EU regulatory enforcement. Experts highlight the clarity with which the author navigates the dense procedural requirements of the European Commission.
