Résumé

The European Union and the United States have developed a cooperative framework to regulate and prevent companies from obtaining monopolies or pursuing other anti-competitive business activities. Such regulation allows both the EU and the US to manage competition from overseas markets. This cooperative framework is based on non-treaty agreements signed between the EU and US competition regulators. While most scholarly inquiries into international cooperation focus on the negotiating dynamics of treaties, this study provides particularly important insights into the politics of dispute prevention via non-treaty agreements. The international and domestic incentives that led EU and US competition regulators to pursue non-treaty agreements also inform the reasons why these regulators pursue the creation of bilateral and multilateral institutions to increase international cooperation in competition policy.
