| Research Abstract |
This research aims on the actual market conditions where market controlling enterprises domination exists and on its regulation by Anti-trust Law and other business laws, including some comparison with foreign countries.
Our research results are as follows.
Firstly, we have discussed on how we deter the abuses of the market controlling power and also on how we promote fair and free competition. Particularly we studied the regulation by Anti-trust Law. We have, for instance, taken up IT-related industry such as Microsoft Japan and US, Intel and so forth.
In Japan it has become clear that the regulation is not strong enough.
Secondly, we studied on Electricity Industry in Japan as well as in other countries like US, Germany, UK and EU. Japan enjoys only partial liberalization. The full liberalization on retail is today's political issues.
