The analysis carried out through this thesis confirms that the DMA occupies an intermediate position on the regulatory continuum, combining elements of command and control, self-regulation and performance-based approaches. This analysis, contrasted with expert critiques, highlights how commentary on its essential features often overlooks underlying regulatory strategies. Rather than weaknesses, the perceived deficiencies derive from a strategic design that involves those regulated in the design of the compliance mechanism and facilitates collaboration with the regulator. Ultimately, this study shows that the DMA's multifaceted strategy aims to address the specific challenges of dynamic and heterogeneous digital markets. Promotes compliance through dialogue and iterative processes, recognizing companies' specialized knowledge. While skepticism revolves around maintaining competition in inherently concentrated markets, the DMA aligns with a regulatory understanding that seeks a nuanced balance through collaboration, oversight and strategic enforcement. As such, the DMA has a good chance of achieving its objectives, exemplifying a proactive approach to the complexities of digital market regulation.
