Abstract

Extensively broad activities of digital platforms raise many questions and doubts on the impact they have on competition and markets at large and, accordingly, on globalized relations. They are one the most significant tools for development and innovation, and they trigger the most advanced networks surrounding everybody’s daily life, from businesses to consumers, for goods as for services. Nonetheless, they severely threaten competition on the markets, and the risk of new monopolies is real. The authors highlight anticompetitive practices focusing them both on some states or community of states and in the European Union where digital platforms strongly impact on European Single Market, notably under competition rules. The risk of monopoly power and concentration cannot hide the great contribution of digital companies to innovation and how it is essential to detect strategies restricting competition. Indeed, the digital market cannot be set up and managed if the relationship between innovation and competition is not duly spotlighted.
