SUMMARY:The new world of merger control: Resilience\, scale\, global mark
 ets\, investment\, innovation\, and (geo)political issues. How to naviga
 te the new environment of merger control around the world
DESCRIPTION:Competition authorities worldwide are reassessing how merger 
 control should operate in a period marked by geopolitical uncertainty\, 
 supply chain fragility and rapid technological change. Beyond traditiona
 l theories of harm\, agencies increasingly consider how transactions aff
 ect resilience\, scale and innovation pathways\, alongside the classic a
 ssessment of price and quality effects. Political sensitivities\, securi
 ty concerns and other non-competition factors (and instruments such as F
 DI laws) may impact the analysis. New enforcement practices and guidelin
 es (in particular\, the forthcoming EU new guidelines) will reshape how 
 merger control analysis takes place in this new era.\n\nThis panel will 
 explore how these factors are taken into account in merger reviews both 
 from a regulator’s perspective\, but also through practical tips by prac
 titioners and companies that are grappling with these issues in deal mak
 ing.\n
