Nuovi equilibri tra la tutela della concorrenza e la tutela dei diritti sociali

By investigating the relationship between the protection of trade competition and the protection of social rights in the Italian, European and international legal systems, the research aims to identify the points of contact and the differences between the approaches adopted at different levels of government. In particular, while in Italy and the European Union the instrumental role of competition, on a par with state intervention in the market, in the pursuit of social interests is gradually asserting itself, this is not found at the international level. In fact, regulation on the exchange of goods and services in the World Trade Organization is still profoundly unbalanced in favor of the protection of free trade competition over the protection of social rights. ​
