Abstract (if Available):
The FTC and DOJ present a paper outlining their competitiveness program, as well as their experience with various methods of technical assistance. The paper aims to assist in future discussions of technical assistance and capacity-building. Enactment of a competition law is only the beginning of a long and complex process of resolving the policy and practical issues in legal drafting, institution building, and making the new law meaningful through an authority’s actions. New competition agencies are likely to encounter difficulties as they face these challenges, and can benefit from technical assistance provided by more experienced competition authorities. br />
