In this first episode of the video series #EUIResearch, we sit down with Jasminka Pecotić Kaufman, EUI Fernand Braudel Fellow through the EUI Widening Europe Programme, to discuss her research on anti-cartel policy in Central and Eastern Europe, uncovering how culture, politics, and leadership shape enforcement.
Pecotić Kaufman delves into her current project, which examines the challenges faced by national competition authorities in tackling cartels across post-socialist EU Member States. Through a combination of case studies and comparative analysis, her research offers valuable insights into what drives effective competition policy in the region.
Watch the full conversation to learn more about the factors influencing anti-cartel enforcement and why it matters for fair and competitive markets.
Jasminka Pecotić Kaufman is a Fernand Braudel Fellow at the EUI Law Department and a Professor of Law at the University of Zagreb, Faculty of Economics and Business, Department of Business Law. Her recent research focuses on the challenges of enforcing competition rules in European post-socialist countries.
The Fernand Braudel Fellowship special call for applications was launched in the framework of the EUI Widening Europe Programme, which is supported by contributions from the European Union and EUI Contracting States. The programme is designed to strengthen internationalisation, competitiveness, and quality in research in targeted Widening countries.
