A Dozen of Our Year-to-Date Favorites

Important News for the Antitrust/Competition Community

At the bottom of the left-hand column, you’ll find a link to a complimentary issue containing the 12 articles listed on the left; a list which includes our most popular articles published this year. We’re offering this free issue to introduce the new CPI organization site licensing program to the antitrust/competition community. These articles represent just a part of the breadth and the width of the content you’ll find on this site.

In 2005, CPI began publishing the CPI Journal, online and in print, twice a year. Each issue contains symposia dealing with vital antitrust topics, presenting articles written by eminent scholars and practitioners, along with case studies and historical reprints. In 2008, we expanded our offerings with the CPI Antitrust Chronicle (formerly GCP Magazine) presenting, twice a month, an online-only collection of articles dealing with current issues of keen interest to our readers. In 2009, we launched our online learning center and published our first book, Trustbusters. 

To make all of these resources easily available, we launched a new website earlier this year. We included features that makes the site the comprehensive resource of all things antitrust/competition policy, all easily searchable and attainable. Our new site houses the complete archives of both our publications and, in a specially-designed resource library, has a sophisticated search engine that allows searching by topic, author, country, title, date, or source. Also in the resource library are copies of important documents and other publications.

But we offer far more resources than just the library:

• Our Hot Tubs section gives the antitrust community, in one place, the information needed to understand news-breaking events—presented in a variety of media formats.
• Our commentary section gathers blogs and tweets from all over the globe, making it a one-stop location to catch up on breaking news and opinions. And in case you’ve missed something, every month we publish the best postings in a special newsletter, the “CPI Blog ‘o Blogs.”
• Our Community section includes biographies of key antitrust players and their firms.
• Our Events section keeps track of conferences, classes, and competitions offered world-wide.
