A feature common among almost all jurisdictions that have antitrust laws is a set of rules that govern mergers. Although the details of these rules may differ, a unifying theme is that
mergers should not reduce competition in a properly defined market.

The assessment of the competitive effects of any given transaction is not a binary exercise. Ultimately, the assessment of the impact of the transaction turns on an informed, but
prospective, review of the relevant market and the competitive conditions in that market. Often, antitrust authorities will agree to remedy the prospective harm that may result from a transaction by accepting undertakings or commitments from the parties to do particular things or act in a particular way. At this point, an additional level of ‘crystal ball gazing’ is
introduced into the merger review process. The antitrust authority needs to determine an appropriate means of addressing the prospective harm arising from the merger, otherwise known as a merger remedy.

This book provides a comprehensive review of a variety of issues relating to the design and implementation of merger remedies, often referring to practices and precedents from
the United States and the European Union. However, as noted above, merger rules are global in nature and, therefore, a part of the book is devoted to a review of other jurisdictions around the world, including Canada, China and Mexico.
