Summary
In several jurisdictions, antitrust or competition laws are deemed as having a political content, at least from a historical perspective. A link is further made between antitrust and democracy. The focus is put on separation of powers-type arguments explaining and supporting the adoption of antitrust or competition laws in the United States, in Germany, in Japan, and in the European Union.
