In 2020, Cairncross Foundation (CF) funded the publication of the book 12 Years of Anti-Monopoly Law-Retrospect and Prospect. China's "Anti-Monopoly Law" was officially implemented on August 1, 2008, and it has been 12 years until August 2020. This book summarizes and reviews the important actions, achievement and typical cases since the implementation of the "Anti-Monopoly Law", and provides valuable references for the in-depth implementation of the law and the regulatory authorities. The China Society of Economic Reform (CSER) established the "Anti-Monopoly Law in 12 Years-Retrospect and Prospects" editorial board to organize relevant leaders, scholars, practitioners, and Chinese and international experts to provide their personal assessments of the factual record and the implementation of the Anti-Monopoly Law since 2008. The book contains 12 important cases of administrative monopoly, mergers and acquisitions, agreements and abuse respectively, as well as 12 major events in the construction of the rule of law and international cooperation, drawing an outline of development for the 12th anniversary of Anti-Monopoly Law. The CSER submitted to the CF a project proposal to fund the publication of the book. The CF trustee board considered that the book’s theme is highly consistent with the foundation’s research and would provide a valuable reference and guide for the understanding in China and globally of the strategy and implementation of the Anti-Monopoly Law. The CF is therefore honoured to support the publication of this important volume and congratulates the CSER for its achievement. The book was published by CITIC Publishing House in December 2020.
