Over hele Europa blev karteller i mange år opfattet som en naturlig og legitim måde at organisere markeder på. I de seneste par årtier er der imidlertid sket et paradigmeskift i myndighedernes tilgang til karteller, både på nationalt plan og på EU-niveau. Det kommer blandt andet til udtryk ved, at karteller til stadighed straffes hårdere. Med afsæt i et kritisk politisk økonomiperspektiv anlægger artiklen et helikopterperspektiv på den europæiske kartelregulering og inddeler dens udvikling i to faser. En første fase hvor den var en del af en ”reguleret” form for kapitalisme, og en anden fase hvor den indgår som et element i en neoliberal kapitalismeform. Paradigmeskiftet kortlægges med eksempler fra EF/EU, Danmark og andre europæiske lande og forklares med henvisning til magtforskydninger samt ændringer i sociale akkumulationsstrukturer og fremherskende idéer. Afslutningsvis rejser artiklen spørgsmålet, hvorvidt der er tegn på, at den økonomiske krise, der fulgte i kølvandet på finanskrisen i 2008, vil føre til et nyt skift i måden, hvorpå karteller reguleres i Europa.
