’For all these reasons, this monograph is definitively recommended to practitioners and academics interested in the State aid field, but also for policy analysts, political scientists and generally for students of EU law. They will benefit from an overarching work that provides not only a detailed account of the law and case law concerning the application of the State aid discipline to the financial sector, but also a rich understanding of the principles that underpin the new regulatory framework for bank resolution in the EU, and valuable hints into its likely coexistence with the State aid framework. The editors and authors of this work should thus be highly commended.'
