Abstract

The basics of Keynesian Economics and ordoliberalism have been implemented in national legislations. On the basis of a comparative analysis, it is possible to differentiate two models of competition law regulation – the American and the European model. The difference between these two models results from divergent understandings of the content and goals of competition law regulations. While American legislation aims to protect the economy as a whole, European enforcement practice shows that its main goals are to protect social rights in the context of the Internal Market. The article shows the tendency to converge of national legal conditions of competition protection with the conclusion of international agreements and the inclusions into the latter of competition rules.
