A short essay (no more than 1000 words) analyzing one of the following:

You may use as a guide (but not limit yourself to) the policy issues suggested for consideration in the prospective syllabus of this course

- an anti-competitive case that has either been considered by the courts & competition authorities of your country, or has stirred the public opinion and received media attention.
