Abstract

This paper analyses different public policies in the regulation area that may be applied to competition as a reality that criss-crosses the whole of Portuguese economy.

It also approaches, from the same optic but with a different focalization, the issue of concentration in the media sector, as an economic and sociological reality of growing, unambiguous importance in our present world.

It is concluded that the State should proceed with effective regulation policies that may handle market failures without, however, generating State failures.
