This chapter reviews the rise of informal transnational networks, like the International Competition Network (ICN), and highlights the highly re-distributive nature of competition policy. It provides the working definitions of legitimacy, effectiveness, and efficiency and suggests that each state more actively assess ICN work products and other support in order to judge the costs and benefits of using them in its own system. It also points out how legitimacy issues are likely to be acute the more states’ economies differ from those of the key ICN influencers. The chapter elaborates the meaning of ICN’s design, which implies that states may not be able to trust their national competition authorities (NCAs) to act in their national interest. It provides a top-to-bottom analysis of the ICN’s working methods and substantive coverage with recommendations for the future of the network. |
