The workshop "Role of Competition Law in Economic Transitions" took place on 6 June 2024, 10:00 am - 18:30 pm CET at the University of Warsaw, Faculty of Management, Szturmowa 1/3, Warszawa, room C-105.
This workshop was organised to foster a discussion on the role of competition law in navigating economic transitions. By examining the transformation journeys of Central-Eastern European (CEE) countries and various countries of the Global South (e.g., South Africa, Colombia), our aim was to elucidate the interplay between the values of competition and non-economic values protected by national constitutions. These discussions aimed to endeavor to evaluate the role of competition law and the institutions tasked with its enforcement in shaping economic orders. Of particular interest was an exploration into whether the manner competition law has been enforced facilitates or hinders inclusive and sustainable economic transformation. The overall aim of the workshop was to reflect on how to build a coherent competition law framework that not only advances the economic goals of a society but also promotes the foundational non-economic values upon which it is built.
