Dear Readers,

2020 was a year of great turbulence. Society and the world economy were shocked by the COVID-19 pandemic; Brexit came to fruition; and political change occurred across the globe.

Specifically, with relation to antitrust, legislators and policymakers began to come to grips with the calls for change reflected in reports such as the EU Crémer report, the UK Furman Report, and the U.S. House of Representatives Judiciary Committee Report. Moreover, authorities modified guidelines and rules to account for the new world brought about by COVID-19.

2021 promises to be another year of change, as the economy recovers from COVID-19, and legislatures begin to bring the reforms long-discussed in theory, into practice.

The pieces in this Chronicle reflect the experiences and perspectives of practitioners and academics from around the world, as we gaze into the new horizons of 2021.

As always, thank you to our great panel of authors.

Sincerely,

CPI Team
