Antitrust Enforcement, Freedom Of The Press, And The "Open Market": The Supreme Court On The Structure And Conduct Of Mass Media, William E. Lee
Antitrust Enforcement, Freedom Of The Press, And The "Open Market": The Supreme Court On The Structure And Conduct Of Mass Media, William E. Lee
Vanderbilt Law Review
This Article examines the Supreme Court's attempts to foster open markets by altering either the structure or the conduct of mass media enterprises." Structure and conduct are the two main determinants of market performance. Market structure "means those characteristics of the organization of a market that seem to exercise a strategic influence on the nature of competition and pricing within the market." Some characteristics of market structure include degree of buyer concentration, degree of seller concentration, degree of product differentiation, and entry conditions. Market conduct, on the other hand, comprises the practices, policies, and devices which firms employ in adjusting …
Conflicting Interpretations Of The Sherman Act's Jurisdictional Requirement, Robert D. Eckinger
Conflicting Interpretations Of The Sherman Act's Jurisdictional Requirement, Robert D. Eckinger
Vanderbilt Law Review
Over the past fifty years, plaintiffs have called upon the federal judiciary to deal with antitrust disputes of an increasingly local nature. Although the courts have responded by generally broadening the range of activities which satisfy the substantive elements of the Sherman Act, their approach to the jurisdictional requirement of the statute has been far from consistent. As a matter of statutory construction, this inconsistency, when compared to the expansive jurisdictional approach applied to other statutes based on the commerce clause, is not justified, at least in the absence of a congressional intention to limit the reach of the Sherman …

Decision To Prosecute: Organization And Public Policy In The Antitrust Division, C. Paul Rogers, Iii
Vanderbilt Law Review
Professor Suzanne Weaver's first book, Decision To Prosecute: Organization and Public Policy in the Antitrust Division, is a study of the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice, its institutional behavior and its mechanisms for public policy formation.Although Professor Weaver's audience is not limited to the legal community, Decision To Prosecute will stimulate in two ways the interest of antitrust students, scholars, and practitioners. On one level, the reader will learn something about the internal operations of the Antitrust Division, and may reconsider his preformed judgments about that influential, trenchant branch of the Justice Department.

Department Of Justice Opinion Letter, Patricia M. Wald
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
The Department of Justice supports the main purpose of these bills, that is, expeditious exposure of, and effective opposition to, secret cartel arrangements supported by foreign governments that cause direct injury in U. S. commerce. The Department of Justice also welcomes support for accelerated efforts toward international resolution of restrictive anticompetitive business practices. However, the Department, for the reasons stated above, recommends against enactment of H.R. 13921 and H.R. 13922 in their present forms.
We do believe the continued exploration and discussion of the need for enactment of a reporting requirement for foreign, governmentally-involved, cartels would be worthwhile. We have …
The Cartel Restriction Act Of 1979: Response To A Global Economic Problem, Albert Gore, Jr.
The Cartel Restriction Act Of 1979: Response To A Global Economic Problem, Albert Gore, Jr.
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
The potential for workable cartels presently exists in several commodities, and host-countries and multinationals have already initiated or attempted cartel activities in minerals and agricultural goods. The recent success of the OPEC cartel was a significant factor influencing the formation of the uranium cartel by easing corporate and governmental inhibitions against cartel activities. Given the increasing exploitative attitude among developed countries and what has been termed the "irrational solidarity" among developing countries, it is not unreasonable to expect more imitations of OPEC success wherever market conditions would allow a group of producers to extract monopoly rents from consuming nations. Such …

Foreign Discovery And U.S. Antitrust Policy--The Conflict Resolving Mechanisms, Donald L. Flexner
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
A look back at the last thirty years of United States antitrust's foreign "voyages of discovery" among friendly nations reveals a picture too often resembling not so much an era of good feeling as a thirty years war. Following hard upon Judge Hand's famous formulation of the "effects" doctrine in Alcoa in 1946 the Antitrust Division conducted a series of investigations in which compulsory process was used to seek documents located in foreign nations. Prodded by what they viewed as U.S. antitrust authorities' impermissible overreaching, the affected countries began to enact defensive "blocking statutes." The passage by Canada's Ontario Province …
