Description

It is my great pleasure to write the introduction to this monumental new book by Gönenç Gürkaynak. It is a special pleasure not only because the book is an extraordinary, incomparable treatise that is sure to make its mark in explaining and even guiding the competition law of Turkey and beyond, but because this is the twentieth anniversary of my meeting its remarkable author, Gönenç Gürkaynak. I first met Gönenç when he was a dripping wet young Harvard graduate student arriving at my house in a sudden downpour accompanying his wife-to-be Serra, who was my student at New York University School of Law. Since then, I have watched Gönenç’s illustrious career begin and blossom. I observed his contributions to and influence on the competition community around the world. I watched and admired his forming his own competition law firm and building it into one of the finest in Turkey and a player in the world. I admire his being not only a practitioner and advisor but a scholar and teacher, and certainly not a technocratic competition-law-only expert but a constitutional and civil rights expert concerned with human rights and free speech. The publication of Gönenç’s Turkish Competition Law is an event of moment. The book is an all-encompassing treatise. It is the first treatise of its kind on the entirety of Turkish competition law. It spans all matters of Turkish competition law, from practical details and procedures to institutions, to all aspects of substantive competition law with nuances of analysis, to guidelines and other guidance as well as the cases that light the path.
