Abstract
The rise of economics as one of the main (some will advance the most important) “source” of competition law discourse is well documented. This study focuses on a facet of the integration of analysis in competition law: economic transplants. The term “economic transplants” refers to specific concepts that were incorporated into the legal discourse by an act of “translation”. They represent the ultimate degree of interaction between the legal and the systems. Using a paradigmatic approach the study examines their specific characteristics and what distinguishes them from other forms of integration of analysis in competition law. It critically assesses their role and their impact on the legal and the discourses. It is submitted that the “paradigm” of translation (and translation theory) is the most adequate explanatory framework for taking into account the dual nature of transplants and it can also serve, more broadly, to conceptualize the interaction of law with other social sciences.
