Competition, Politics, and Democratic Governance

In an era where dominant digital platforms shape the flow of information and influence public discourse, competition policy is a vital tool for reinforcing democratic principles. Practices such as microtargeting, disinformation, and the dissemination of harmful content contribute to polarization and erode trust in democratic institutions. Competition law plays a key role in ensuring market fairness, preventing undue concentrations of power, and supporting democratic principles such as freedom of expression and pluralism.

The roundtable discussion will explore the linkages between competition law, competition dynamics, digitalisation, and democratic governance.
