This Liber Amicorum was launched on the occasion of Professor William E. Kovacic's retirement from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission where he served as Commissioner from January 2006 to October 2011, as the Chairman from March 2008 to March 2009, and as a General Counsel from 2001 through 2004.This Volume I pays tribute to William Kovacic's work as a professor, public official and "international entrepreneur," which has tremendously contributed to the development of the U.S. and international antitrust law. This first volume includes 31 contributions by his colleagues and friends mainly from the United States, and it is divided into two sections. Part I, entitled "An Antitrust Career," contains 10 articles that offer an original as well asenthralling picture of Kovacic as professor, lawyer, unconventional thinker and innovator of antitrust law. Part II, entitled "New Frontiers of Antitrust," consists of 21 articles covering different aspects of competition law, ranging from cartels to mergers analysis, private rights of action, antitrust settlements, etc. The overall result is a collective work that offersthe opportunity to look over the antitrust world not only as a "cold" field of law, but also as a lively discipline to whose growth Professor Kovacic has contributed so much.

In this second volume of the Douglas H. Ginsburg Liber Amicorum, the reader will find a series of essays no less brilliant than those in the first. Emphasis is, rightly, placed on Judge Ginsburg's contribution to the structured analysis of antitrust problems, whether in terms of the rule of reason, the shifting burden of proof, or the assessment of potentially anticompetitive mergers. The volume carries articles by distinguished contributors on some of the most important and topical questions in modern antitrust, and in doing so salutes the outstanding career of Judge Ginsburg, and adds significantly to the scholarship with which his name is already synonymous.

Without Professor Xiaoye Wang, Chinese competition law would not be in the shape it is today. Perhaps the key competition statute - the Anti-Monopoly Law (AML) - would not even have been enacted without her relentless efforts to push the competition law agenda in China. Professor Wang's 70th birthday saw the tenth anniversary of the AML's entry into force. It presents the ideal moment to take stock of what has been achieved in Chinese competition law over the past decade and to put the spotlight on Professor Wang's significant contributions. In this Liber Amicorum, Professor Wang's colleagues, friends, and admirers in China and around the world come together to celebrate her achievements to date and to discuss recent competition law developments in China and other timely topics. The variety of contributors' backgrounds (academics, enforcers, lawyers, economists) demonstrates the abundance and range of the issues brought out in the book.
