Eva Hartmann & Poul F. Kjaer edit a special issue of Distinktion

A Sociology of Competition

The contributions also aim to cover a broad range in methodological terms. Some analyses in this issue examine changes in the scholarly discussion on competition over the last two centuries. Other studies take the dissemination of these arguments into account by analyzing changes in the dictionaries’ definition of competition. Another contribution examines the World Bank's training manuals, which are used in capacity-building workshops. Last but not least, the concept of competition and its modification is studied through the lens of European case law.
