Assessment approaches vary considerably across sectors and Kokkoris explores the different approaches adopted by a range of US regulatory authorities, including the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, the Federal Communications Commission, the Department of Transportation, and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eKokkoris argues that US merger assessments can be convoluted as transactions can be assessed under a public interest test by one sectoral authority and under a competition test by the Federal Trade Commission or the Department of Justice. These overlapping approaches can lead to contradictory outcomes, resulting in ineffective competitive dynamics in the sectoral market. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book focuses on the composition, legislation, and the relevant public interest considerations of each regulatory authority and presents seminal cases that illustrate the different enforcement approaches as well as the possible discrepancies between competition law-based assessments and national security or public interest-based assessments. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDistilling all these considerations, \u003cem\u003ePublic Interest Considerations in Merger Control \u003c\/em\u003esuggests that the application of the varying shades of the public interest standard can result in a complex and inefficient merger review process and recommends new ways to address these inefficiencies.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46416235856023,"sku":"9780192864451","price":14716.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780192864451.webp?v=1769062885","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/public-interest-considerations-in-us-merger-control-an-assessment-of-national-security-and-sectoral-regulators-9780192864451","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
