Competition Law in South Asia

Since 2000, South Asian countries have increasingly engaged in competition law reform. Yet, apart from India and Pakistan, the countries in this region have had little success enforcing these laws. Competition Law in South Asia analyses the mechanisms and institutions through which Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Pakistan, Maldives, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Afghanistan have adopted modern competition legislation or policy. The book argues that the success (or failure) of competition law reform in these countries is strongly impacted by the unique interplay of mechanisms and legal and political institutions engaged by these countries in adopting their competition legislation or policy. The book provides an in-depth comparative analysis of the adoption and implementation continuum in India and Pakistan, the compatibility and legitimacy generated by the adoption process, and its impact on implementation of the adopted competition legislation. Taking a far-reaching, comparative approach, the book draws lessons not only for countries in South Asia but also for emerging economies across the globe.

Amber Darr is a lecturer in competition law at the University of Manchester and a senior research fellow with the UCL Centre for Law, Economics and Society. She is an appointed Advocate of the Supreme Court of Pakistan.
