International and Foreign Competition Law Research Guide

The intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations described below are credible sources of information about international and foreign competition law and policy.

• Competition Law Forum of the British Institute of International and Comparative Law (BIICL)
  The CLF brings together practitioners, regulators, and academics from the U.K. and elsewhere to exchange information, share ideas, and promote research in the field of competition law. Selected research papers published by the Forum are available for non-members to download (scroll down to “Research Papers and Public Consultations”). BIICL’s journal, the International and Comparative Law Quarterly, includes articles on competition law (and many other topics).
• International Competition Network (ICN)
  The ICN enables national competition authorities to informally discuss issues of mutual concern and build consensus towards sound competition policy principles across the global antitrust community. Visit the Document Library to download reports and other materials from ICN’s annual conferences and workshops. Search by keyword or scroll down to browse by topic.
• International League of Competition Law (Ligue internationale du droit de la concurrence (LIDC))
  The LIDC is a network of professional associations that focuses on the interplay between competition law and intellectual property law at the national and international levels. The Resources page allows searching and browsing for selected resolutions, reports, working papers, and other publications authored by the LIDC’s transnational working groups. Note that some documents and publications are only accessible to LIDC members.
• Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD)

  This intergovernmental organization provides a forum for its 38 member countries to share data and develop solutions to common problems on matters of public policy. The Competition page gathers its materials on competition law and policy.
