Summary/Abstract: By exploring each of the contributions presented in this issue, the reader will (re)discover a set of legal instruments that are essential in correcting various forms of “dishonest” conduct that have taken shape among economic actors across diverse fields. Developing a reflex to turn to the remedies provided by the legal framework on unfair competition — and to assess market behavior in light of the acts it prohibits — will help economic players adjust their conduct and collectively create the foundations of a healthy business environment. The legal influence on business behavior plays a regulatory role, addressing potential imbalances and providing benchmarks that should bring both predictability and clarity to market actors. Following the logical thread running through the articles in this issue, readers will also come to understand that the tools offered by the legal regime of unfair competition can, in fact, provide solutions to otherwise unresolved problems — especially in those hot zones of certain sectors and industries where economic mechanisms are beginning to falter.
