Can competition avoidance occur in intraspecific competition?
Yes, competition avoidance can occur in intraspecific competition. Intraspecific competition refers to competition between individuals of the same species for limited resources such as food, mates, or territory. In order to avoid direct competition, individuals may exhibit behaviors such as territoriality, resource partitioning, or altering their activity patterns to minimize encounters with competitors. These strategies can help reduce the intensity of competition and allow individuals to coexist within the same population.

Is it an honest competition or a fake competition?
It is difficult to definitively say whether a competition is honest or fake without specific details or evidence. However, some signs of an honest competition include transparent rules, fair judging, and equal opportunities for all participants. On the other hand, a fake competition may involve biased judging, hidden agendas, or predetermined outcomes. It is important to assess the integrity of a competition based on these factors before making a judgment.

A Framework for European Competition Law : Co-ordinated Diversity
This book asks whether the current push to increase uniformity in substantive and procedural competition policy and enforcement in Europe, as well as in related institutional structures, is desirable.It focuses on European Union (EU) competition policy and enforcement (related to Articles 101 and 102 TFEU and the merger rules), the equivalent rules in the Member States, and the relationships between these different legal orders. Uniformity has many benefits; yet, the advantages of diversity are also legion, enabling more policy experimentation and innovation; and improving the ability to accommodate national preferences.Contrary to the overwhelming view of academics, practitioners and regulators in this area, the book argues that uniformity is insufficient and examines ways of achieving a better mix of uniformity and diversity (the EU’s motto is ‘United in Diversity’).To achieve this better mix, the book offers a new framework for European competition law: Co-ordinated Diversity.Finally, this book discusses whether Co-ordinated Diversity fits with the current legal order in the EU, as well as the EU constitutional settlement more generally, and suggests some ways that it might be made compatible with this order with relative ease. The book’s impact could be significant: changing the results in individual cases; the way cases are argued; and what information is relevant.More importantly, it builds the theoretical foundations for fundamentally altering the way in which the EU and the Member States’ competition authorities interact, allowing space for disagreement and uncertainty.The aim is to improve the effiiciency and effectiveness of competition policy-making and enforcement in Europe.It should also increase the legitimacy in this field (rebalancing towards the Member States).Co-ordinated Diversity provides a new way of seeing the EU that better blends difference, when this is demanded, with uniformity and its benefits, as necessary.A timely and ambitious work, this book will be read with interest by all practitioners and academics interested in EU competition law, as well as the related fields of political science and economics.

Markets in the Making – Rethinking Competition, Goods, and Innovation
Slicing through blunt theories of supply and demand, Callon presents a rigorously researched but counterintuitive model of how everyday market activity gets produced.If you're convinced you know what a market is, think again. In his long-awaited study, French sociologist and engineer Michel Callon takes us to the heart of markets, to the unsung processes that allow innovations to become robust products and services. Markets in the Making begins with the observation that stable commercial transactions are more enigmatic, more elusive, and more involved than previously described by economic theory. Slicing through blunt theories of supply and demand, Callon presents a rigorously researched but counterintuitive model of market activity that emphasizes what people designing products or launching startups soon discover-the inherent difficulties of connecting individuals to things. Callon's model is founded upon the notion of "singularization," the premise that goods and services must adapt and be adapted to the local milieu of every individual whose life they enter. Person by person, thing by thing, Callon demonstrates that for ordinary economic transactions to emerge en masse, singular connections must be made.Pushing us to see markets as more than abstract interfaces where pools of anonymous buyers and sellers meet, Callon draws our attention to the exhaustively creative practices that market professionals continuously devise to entangle people and things. Markets in the Making exemplifies how prototypes, fragile curiosities that have only just been imagined, are gradually honed into predictable objects and practices. Once these are active enough to create a desired effect, yet passive enough to be transferred from one place to another without disruption, they will have successfully achieved the status of "goods" or "services." The output of this more ample process of innovation, as redefined by Callon, is what we recognize as "the market"-commercial activity, at scale.The capstone of an influential research career at the forefront of science and technology studies, Markets in the Making coherently integrates the empirical perspective of product engineering with the values of the social sciences. After masterfully redescribing how markets are made, Callon culminates with a strong empirical argument for why markets can and should be harnessed to enact social change. His is a theory of markets that serves social critique.

Is it a dressage competition or a dressage rider competition?
A dressage competition is primarily focused on evaluating the performance of the horse and its ability to execute precise movements and transitions. While the rider's skill and communication with the horse are important, the emphasis is on the horse's performance. Therefore, it is more accurate to say that it is a dressage competition rather than a dressage rider competition.
