Chillin'Competition

JECLAP is particularly proud to announce the publication of a Special Issue devoted to Competition Law and Gender Perspectives. The initiative owes a great deal to the indefatigable Lena Hornkohl, who has worked together with European Commission officials Johannes Holzwarth and Senta Marenz (both of whom are involved in DG Comp’s Equality Network).

The issue can be accessed here. It comes with an editorial by Lena, Johannes and Senta. As you can see from the list below, the pieces are invariably fascinating and cover a great deal of ground (with the added plus that many of them are available in Open Access). We very much hope this issue will contribute to raising the salience of gender issues in competition law.
