In the mid-20th century governments began to use so called ?cartel registers? to monitor and regulate their behaviour. This book provides cases studies from more than a dozen countries to examine the emergence, application and eventual decline of this form of regulation. Beginning with a comparison of the attitudes to regulation that led to monitoring, rather than prohibiting cartels, this book examines the international studies on cartels undertaken by the League of Nations before World War II. This is followed by a series of studies on the context of the registers, including the international context of the European Union, and the importance of lobby groups in shaping regulatory outcomes, using Finland as an example. Section two provides a broad international comparison of several countries? registers, with individual studies on Norway, Australia, Japan, Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands. After examining the impact of registration on business behaviour in the insurance industry, this book concludes with an overview of the lessons to be learnt from 20th century efforts to regulate competition. With a foreword by Harm Schroter, this book outlines the rise and fall of a system that allowed nations to tailor their approach to regulating competition to their individual circumstances whilst also responding to the pressures of globalisation that emerged after the Second World War. This book is suitable for those who are interested in and study economic history, international economics and business history. 410 0$aRoutledge explorations in economic history ;$v75. 606 $aCartels$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aCompetition$xHistory$y20th century 610 $aagreement 610 $aanticompetitive 610 $aanti-competitive 610 $aauthorities 610 $abehaviour 610 $acartel 610 $apolicy 610 $aregister 610 $aregistration 610 $avertical 615 0$aCartels$xHistory 615 0$aCompetition$xHistory 676 $a338.8/2 676 $a343.0721 700 $aFellman$b Susanna$4edt$01666259 701 $aFellman$b Susanna$01666259 701 $aShanahan$b Martin$g(Martin P.)$0140379 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910831883303321 996 $aRegulating competition$94129918 997 $aUNINA
