Having earned master’s degrees in international relations a few years apartatSyracuseUniversity’sMaxwellSchoolinthe1990s,wetookdif- ferent paths in doctoral programs and academic positions. Our paths crossedin2007attheEuropeanUnionStudiesAssociation(EUSA)con- ference in Montreal. We realized we were working on similar projects and had overlapping interests, and decided to write a paper together on competition policy. Two years later, at the EUSA conference in Marina del Ray, California, we organized two panels on competition policy. The flow of ideas at this conference influenced our decision to write this book. This was the first book-length coauthored work that either of us had undertaken. Despite the uncertainty of what such a collaboration would entail and how it might impact a friendship, we enjoyed the process immensely. We leave it to the reader to decide the extent to which the output of the collaboration as it appears in thefollowingpagescontributestoscholars’understandingofthecom- plex interactions among the European Union, competition policy, and globalization. Wehavemanypeopletothankforhelpingusseethismanuscriptinto production.Thepanelistsatthe2009EUSAconferenceprovidedexcel- lent comments and helped influence our thinking as we transformed a conference paper into a book. The panelists included Umut Aydin, Thomas Doleys, Lee McGowan, Eleanor Morgan, Kenny Thomas, and Fiona Wishlade.

We dedicate this book to our children Leo and Aaron, and Laura and Nathan.
