The Network Law Review has a new design. Each theme is now a constellation in which every star is a publication, and each article draws the network of work it connects to. Twelve themes to explore, and a lot more to find along the way.

If antitrust protects competition -not individual trading partners- when should economic dependence trigger intervention, and how does it differ from abuse of dominance? @GiuColangelo draws on transaction cost economics: it's about hold-up, not fairness. networklawreview.org/superio…
🎶Somewhere over the rainbow🎶
What improvements should make the final cut for the new Merger Guidelines? Jorge Padilla sets out the reforms he dreams of seeing: preserving skepticism and rigour, while rethinking the order and discipline of the analysis networklawreview.org/draft-m…
The end of net neutrality? Daniel Spulber argues that recent court decisions have effectively ended the FCC's net neutrality regulation, which will encourage investment, innovation, and support the continued expansion of e-commerce networklawreview.org/farewel…
This month’s reading suggestions from @profschrepel. Inside: an LLM that predicts case outcomes, the fight over public ownership of the big AI labs, and whether you can tell when AI wrote the article. Plus Pinker on common knowledge.

Firms innovate not along a smooth path but on “rugged technological landscapes”, balancing risky frontier breakthroughs against niche innovation. This has implications for competition policy, as argued by Professors Callander, Lambert, and Matouschek. networklawreview.org/rugged-…
