The report engages with one of the most crucial questions of our time, the public governance of the digital economy, in particular focusing on the new forms of competitive interaction in the era of digital capitalism. The aim of the report was to combine the insights of academia with information collected ‘on the ground’ in the course of a number of workshops held in each jurisdiction with the local stakeholders, including start-ups, large digital firms, legal and economic practitioners active in the digital economy, representatives of consumer associations and the local academic community. In this work, the BRICS Competition Law and Policy Centre, under the leadership of its Director Professor Alexey Ivanov and the academic guidance of Professor Ioannis Lianos, established a network of academic collaborations with a number of BRICS partners and international partners. The report offers a critical discussion of the current debate and contributes to the global discussion over the role of competition law in the digital age by offering a distinct development perspective that can be considered key for the BRICS countries and other emergent economies around the world.
