“…They are not generally accepted as being normatively legitimated -even though there is a body of neo-liberal and Hayekian theory arguing the case for an 'economic constitutionalism' that presupposes regulatory competition among territorially limited jurisdictions (Mestmäcker 1994;Streit 1996). Nor are these constraints quasi-natural givens.…”

“…The background assumption, shared by authors celebrating or lamenting the political consequences of economic integration (Mestmäcker 1987(Mestmäcker , 1994Streit and Mussler 1995;Streeck 1995a;Kapteyn 1996) can be stated in one sentence: the elimination of economic boundaries creates conditions of regulatory competition 1 among nation states that must constrain the capacity of governments and unions to tax and to regulate mobile capital and firms (Sinn 1993;Sinn 1996), whereas political institutions above the national level are not (yet) capable of governing the capitalist economy with the same degree of effectiveness and democratic legitimacy that was achieved nationally during les trentes glorieuses after the Second World War.…”

In the post-war decades, advanced capitalist economies have developed in symbiosis with democratic political systems with a high capacity for effective regulation and welfare-state compensations. As economic integration deepens globally and even more so within the European Community, national capacities to regulate and to tax mobile capital and firms are reduced, whereas governance at European or international levels is constrained by conflicts of interest among the governments involved. Nevertheless, as the contributions to this volume show, the effectiveness of problem-solving at the national as well as at the European and international levels varies considerably from one field to another. In this introduction, I attempt to identify the factors that could explain the varying intensity and direction of competitive pressures on national regulatory systems, as well as the greater or lesser political feasibility of European or international regulation.

“…The EU approach has been linked to Kantian philosophy. 206 Legally, it flows from the EC Treaty's fundamental conception itself: EU competition law protects the opportunities to compete on the merits that result from the realization of the free movement rules. In doing so, it protects the individual rights of those who compete.…”
