`Lee McGowan's authoritative book is a very welcome addition to the literature on developments in European antitrust. It focuses primarily on EU supernational cartel policy, pring a fascinating, critical account of why policy developed as it has and of its effectiveness in detecting, punishing and deterring cartelists to the present. With its emphasis on institutional structures and decision making processes and its use of examples, the book will be an invaluable reference for political scientists and should also attract a wide readership among economists and lawyers.'

`Lee McGowan's The Antitrust Revolution in Europe is a must-have contribution to any serious bookshelf on EU competition policy. In particular, he skilfully fills a gap in the literature on EU cartel policy. The book will be immensely useful to scholars, students and practitioners interested in the development and future challenges of this under-studied area of competition policy. McGowan deftly employs a politics/public policy approach that usefully applies central themes of actors, ideas and policy developments. McGowan expertly combines historical analysis with careful empirical work on recent developments. His investigation of the internationalisation of cartel policy helps to elucidate the future internal and external challenges in this important policy area.'
