  • Cross-border anti-competitive practices: The challenges for developing countries and economies in transition
  • Discussion of revised chapter III (Restrictive agreements and arrangements) and chapter VIII (Some possible aspects of consumer protection) of the UNCTAD Model Law on Competition Legislation
  • Tripartite peer review of competition law and policy in the United Republic of Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe
