Competition and Regulation in Network Industries

Aims & Scope

Network industries are caught between technological developments, evolving competition and regulation.

At the same time significant technological innovations offer new opportunities for infrastructure operations and governance.

Exploring this combined technological and institutional dynamics between competition and regulation provides a fascinating field of research that challenges academics, managers and policy-makers alike.

Articles that establish links between the evolving network industries and/or take into account the growing role of digitalization in the different network industries are of particular interest.

In addition to the industrialized North, CRNI particularly encourages articles that address competition and regulation issues in the network industries of emerging countries worldwide.
