Call for papers - Competition and regulation in network industries - November 19th, 2010 - Brussels

During the past decades network industries have been restructured to allow for more competition and involvement of the private sector. This development was accompanied by the emergence of new forms of regulatory governance in these vital sectors. Exploring the balance between competition and regulation in network industries is a fascinating field of research that challenges politics and business alike.

The conference takes a multi-disciplinary approach and explores the legal, economic, institutional and public policy aspects of this fundamental reform of network industries.
