An international workshop, The Regulation of Competition: the Case of Asian 
Capitalism, recently held at NUI was convened by the UCD School of Law in conjunction with the Asia Pacific Business Group, Department of Business, Law and Taxation, Monash University, Melbourne, Australia, and the School of Law, Singapore National University. This was the first international workshop of the new Centre for Regulation and Governance, based in the UCD School of Law. Starting with a well-attended keynote lecture by renowned sociologist, Professor Robert Jessop, University of Lancaster, there were then two days of intensive interdisciplinary discussion around papers focusing on a range of issues linking competition law and policy to distinctive trends in Asian capitalism. The conference papers will ultimately be published as an edited collection (M Dowdle, J Gillespie, I Maher and C Scott as editors).
