O papel da regulação legislativa na área de fusões e aquisições no desenvolvimento da economia global

: os casos europeu e português

Abstract

This work intends to verify how the harmonization of legislation in the area of mergers and acquisitions stimulates the development of the global economy. In recent decades, the concentrations of capital and production have been the main priorities for the development of the global economic system. The common market environment of a large regional interstate association such as the European Union is the main effect of the economic integration process. Legislative regulation in this market environment assumes the role of the most important instrument that creates legal opportunities and the necessary conditions for the mutual intertwining of capitals of different states and the subsequent emergence of multinational corporations on this legal basis. Faced with increasing competitive pressure in the global market and the need for rapid growth, legislation in many countries has moved towards liberalization in the regulation of mergers and acquisitions, including competition laws.
