Description

This book examines the relationship between law and public services. Prosser argues that there are important limits to the applicability of competition law in this context. He illustrates his theme by discussing the law in the UK, France and Italy, and at the EU level, and provides a case study considering public service broadcasting.

Features

  • The first detailed examination of relationships between competition law and public services
  • Comparative discussion of UK, and Continental public service law, and of emerging European law
  • Examines topical tensions between economic efficiency arguments and rights and public service values

Reviews

"A very interesting, readable and thought provoking book. A definite recommendation for everyone who is willing to think critically about the boundaries between the market and public services."

Dr. Hans Vedder, EuropeanLawBooks.org
