In particular, it places attention on the historical context of economic institutions in the region, and how these institutions have influenced competition policy enforcement. It also delineates three conditions necessary for competition policy enforcement in Latin American countries to achieve both efficiency and innovation development goals. First, the promotion of a pro-market policy agenda; second, the attention to the institutional incentives placed on competition agencies, and finally, the challenge of adverse anti-market social values where the policy is to be implemented.
