‘The second edition of this excellent volume comes at a time in which EU State aid law is gaining increasing political and popular prominence, most notably thanks to the ongoing high profile tax rulings cases and Brexit negotiations. This Research Handbook covers these developments and many more of the most pressing and complex issues relating to the discipline. This book is highly recommended for those in academia or private practice who want to gain unique insights into the subject from contributors who are leaders in their field.’
