At ISLE, we are dedicated to foster a deep understanding of competition law and economics tailored to the unique challenges faced by small market and insular economies.
There is an ongoing debate over whether competition policy and enforcement in small economies should consider the specific structural features and economic operation of these small and sometimes isolated markets.
The research institute ISLE is a non-for-profit organization founded in French Polynesia to actively stir that debate and ultimately help fostering competition policies that are optimal for the development of such economies.
Our mission is to contribute to the development of effective and durable competition policies that promote fair and competitive markets, and tackle cost of living issues, to benefit consumers.
