Arbitration and Competition Law: Integrating Europe Through Arbitration

Marianela Lopez-Galdos, GW has written on Arbitration and Competition Law: Integrating Europe Through Arbitration.

ABSTRACT: The analysis presents an insightful study of how the use of arbitration to solve antitrust-related disputes is contributing to the integration of the European Union (EU). The paper delves into the question of whether competition can be subjected to arbitration by reviewing the US, EU, and national case law. The analysis explores the relationship between arbitration and the modernised competition policy as enforced by the European Commission. The paper concludes that arbitration is a useful tool to contribute to the optimal enforcement of competition policy and ultimately to further the integration of the EU.
