“…The interaction of the two variables reveals how competition regulators can become the crucial domestic-international interface in the two-level game of international regulatory cooperation. EU and US competition regulators viewed the increasing FDI and merger activity in the 1980s as indicators of the potential for increasing discord in transatlantic competition relations (Mehta, 2003). The regulators could respond to this new threat of EI by unilaterally imposing domestic competition policies on the increasing numbers of cross-border mergers.…”

This article employs a cross-level approach to explain cooperation in transatlantic competition policy. The explanation reveals the important role of regulators as interfaces between the domestic and international levels of analysis. Economic internationalization is a system-level cause of this cooperation, the precise effect of which is accounted for by an intervening variable (domestic politics), which is simplified with a principal-agent model. The negotiations over the 1991 EU-US Bilateral Competition Agreement suggest that, while regulators remain constrained by domestic institutions, they play an important role in explaining why the formal, transatlantic cooperative framework is largely a discretionary one created by a non-treaty international agreement.

“…Given these differences and the broad jurisdiction of both US and EU competition authorities, however, we should be much more astonished that there are so few conflicts. Typically, transgovernmental networks that exchange information, cooperate in enforcement and prepare regulatory convergence are referred to in order to explain how conflicts are moderated or prevented (Friedberg 1990;Devuyst 2001;Raustiala 2002;Mehta 2003;Slaughter 2004: 174f. ;Damro 2006b).…”

Sfb 597 "Staatlichkeit im Wandel" -"Transformations of the State" (WP 102)The Governance of Overlapping Jurisdictions. How International Cooperation Enhances the Autonomy of Competition Authorities ABSTRACTAs a result of international legalization, the potential for conflicts of overlapping jurisdictions has multiplied -vertically between national and international law, as well as horizontally between national and foreign law. In competition control, the latter type of horizontal overlap between US and EU jurisdictions is significant, but very few conflicts actually occur. Rather than solving the underlying issue of extraterritorial jurisdiction, US and EU competition authorities have established a practice of cooperation which aims at preventing conflicts in the first place. Moreover, apart from conflict prevention, transatlantic cooperation significantly enhances the autonomy of competition authorities vis-à-vis politics, judges, and firms.
