Ioannis joined UCL in September 2005. Since September 2004, he has been a visiting Professor in competition and intellectual property law at the Centre for International Industrial Property Studies (CEIPI) of the University of Strasbourg. In 2008-2009 he was an Emile Noel Global Law Fellow at the Jean Monnet Centre at New York University School of Law where he worked on a funded project exploring issues of economic evidence and expertise in antitrust litigation in Europe and in the United States. He was a visiting scholar at the University of California, Berkeley in 2006. Ioannis is a visiting professor at the University of Chile in Santiago, a fellow of the Centre for Law & Economics at the Australian National University and a Laureat of the French Academy of Social Sciences. His primary research interest lies in comparative (EU, UK, French, US) competition law, international competition law, European Union law (internal market, external relations), comparative administrative and regulatory law (public-private partnerships, public utilities law), law and economics, economic sociology.
Ioannis has been a Non Governmental Advisor (NGA) at the International Competition Network (ICN) since 2009 , a research partner to UNCTAD in competition law and policy since 2010, an elected member of the international advisory board of the American Antitrust Institute since 2010.
His current work focuses on the contribution of New Institutional economics to competition law, innovation policy and the law (competition law, IP rights), the law and economics of litigation in competition law, the law and economics of regulation (cost-benefit analysis/impact assessment, public private partnerships), issues of economic evidence and expertise in the courts and the role of trust theory in economic integration. He is currently completing a PhD degree in sociology at the University of Cambridge (sociology of economics, sociology of professions).
Ioannis has been appointed in December 2011 Gutenberg Research chair at the Ecole Nationale d'Administration in France where he leads a multinational team on a comparative study of impact assessments in Europe.

The need to devote greater attention to developing countries is also justified by the changing global economic reality in which developing countries—especially China, India, and Brazil—have emerged as economic powerhouses. Together with Russia, the so-called BRIC countries have accounted for thirty percent of global economic growth since the term was coined in 2001. In this sense, developing countries deserve more attention not because of any justifiable differences from developed countries in competition law enforcement, either in theoretical or practical terms, but because of their sheer economic heft. This book, the second in the Global Competition Law and Economics series, provides a number of viewpoints of what competition law and policy mean both in theory and practice in a development context.
This book, the first in a new series on global competition law, critically assesses the importance of competition law, its development and modern practice, and the global limits that have emerged. This volume will be a key resource to both scholars and practitioners interested in antitrust, competition law, economics, business strategy, and administrative sciences.
Advance praise
"Given the increasingly global dynamics of competition law and economics, Lianos and Sokol will make an important contribution to the field of antitrust with this new series."—Einer Elhauge, Harvard Law School
"This series promises to offer a vital set of books that will fill a real need. The interaction of competition law, economics, and institutions in view of globalized markets is a critical problem of our times."—Eleanor Fox, NYU School of Law
"With over 100 jurisdictions enforcing competition policy, officials need to know how to cooperate with other authorities, and undertakings devising a global strategy need to know how to comply with the requirements of many different authorities operating under different legislation. Both groups need to understand competition advocacy. Skills in both economics and law are required. Laws that suit large well-developed countries may not suit smaller or less-developed countries. The two series editors are well-known internationally in the area of competition law, and I am sure that they will attract excellent authors for the different volumes of the series. This new series of books will fill a gap and is warmly welcome."—Valentine Korah, University College London
"With the growth in the number of competition agencies worldwide, there is an increasing opportunity to apply sophisticated economic reasoning to shape competition policy and make it work for the long-run interests of society. A series in global competition policy is a welcome development that should accelerate the dissemination of knowledge in this important area of policy."—Dennis Carlton, University of Chicago Booth School of Business

Introduction Ioannis Lianos and Okeoghene Odudu; Part I. The 'Trust' Theory of Integration: 1. Trust, distrust and economic integration: setting the stage Ioannis Lianos and Johanness Leblanc; Part II. Unpacking the Premises: Mutual Recognition, Harmonization: 2. Forms of mutual recognition in the field of services Vassilis Hatzopoulos; 3. Trust and mutual recognition in the services directive Gareth Davies; 4. Mutual recognition in the global trade regime: lessons from the EU experience Wolfgang Kerber and Roger Van Den Bergh; 5. Public procurement and public services in the EU Chris Bovis; Part III. The Interaction between Pluralism, Trust and Economic Integration: 6. Shifting narratives in European economic integration: trade in services, pluralism and trust Ioannis Lianos and Damien Gerard; 7. Trusting the poles, Mark 2: towards a regulatory peace theory Kalypso Nicolaidis; Part IV. Private Parties and the Economic Integration Process: 8. Who's afraid of the total market? On the horizontal application of the free movement provisions in EU law Harm Schepel; 9. The EU Services Directive and the mandate for the creation of professional codes of conduct Panagiotis Delimatsis; Part V. Seeds of Distrust: Regulatory Competition and Diversity in the Social Sphere: 10. Transborder provision of services and social dumping: rights-based mutual trust in the establishment of the internal market Olivier De Schutter; 11. Reconceptualizing the constitution of Europe's post-national constellation – by dint of conflict of laws Christian Joerges and Florian Rödl; 12. Fundamental rights as sources of trust and voices of distrust in the European internal market Antoine Bailleux; Part VI. Extensions: the Relevance of the 'Trust Theory' of Integration in the Context of the WTO: 13. I now recognize you (and only you) as equal: an anatomy of (mutual) recognition agreements in the GATS Juan A. Marchetti and Petros C. Mavroidis; 14. Importing regulatory standards and principles into WTO dispute settlement: the challenge of interpreting the GATS Arrangements on Telecommunications Robert Howse.
Twenty-nine prominent competition law authorities – representing all three ‘estates’(practice, administrative regulation, and academe) – bring their deeply informed knowledge and perspectives on this crucially important body of law to the table. The many issues they address include the following:
the decentralization of competition law enforcement;
the development of private actions for damages;
private versus public enforcement;
the role of national competition authorities;
the role of arbitration;
the impact of human rights law;
recourse to economic evidence;
special cases (e.g., pharmaceuticals, high technology industries);
mergers;
cartel enforcement; and
state aid measures.
This book represents a fresh approach to EC competition law – one that is of singular value in grappling with the huge economic challenges we face today. As a critical analysis of the law and options available to European competition authorities and legal practitioners in the field, it stands without peer. It will be greatly welcomed by academics, lawyers, policymakers and other interested professionals in Europe and throughout the world.

alleged predator’s legal expenditures can be expected to pay off is necessary, but insufficient. An appropriate test for sham litigation should be based on close examination of the market structure and thorough analysis of the economic relationship between the parties in dispute. Reputation is the hallmark of the test: the incumbent battles to maintain others’ perception of its readiness to fight entry via frivolous legal battle.
