Abstract

This economic policy forum is assigned to the relevance of mergers in the era of globalization. Stefan Voigt argues that the number as well as the relevance of mergers has dramatically increased over the last couple of years. This has led to demands to modify the competition policies based on nation-state institutions but also to introduce an international competition policy. In his contribution, arguments in favor of merger-control as well as the possible relevance that globalization may have for merger policy are discussed shortly. The main emphasis, however, is on a discussion about whether competition is a useful method to discover adequate competition rules. The author is rather skeptical with regard to this prospect.
