The European Union’s Digital Markets Act marks a major shift in digital competition regulation – moving from traditional ex post enforcement to a proactive\, ex ante regime targeting digital platform ‘gatekeepers’. Promoted as a blueprint for global digital regulation\, the DMA is already influencing legislative agendas beyond Europe. This webinar explores new research that traces the DMA’s impact on emerging digital competition frameworks in Brazil\, India\, and Japan. Through a comparative legal lens\, the study reveals how these jurisdictions have engaged with\, adapted\, or departed from the DMA model to suit their institutional\, economic\, and political contexts. The session will examine what this tells us about the prospects for international regulatory convergence and the limits of the so-called ‘Brussels Effect’ in the digital economy. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Participants: \nDr. Aaron Lane is a Senior Fellow at the GW Competition & Innovation Lab at The George Washington University.
