The New Law of State Aid and Subsidies is (finally!) coming out today with Hart Publishing (with a 20% discount if you purchase it via the publisher using this flyer).

As those who know me are aware, I have long been interested in State aid and subsidy regulation. With all the changes that the discipline has recently undergone and is currently undergoing, the moment felt right to both take stock of the evolution of EU State aid law and discuss how the discipline is evolving both within and outside the boundaries of the European Union.

It was particularly exciting to address emerging developments and regimes, including the UK subsidy control system and the EU Foreign Subsidies Regulation. I have been able to incorporate developments up until January 2026, including the Guidelines on foreign subsidies and the most recent judgments of the Competition Appeal Tribunal on the subject.

I really look forward to discussing the ideas in the book. For the time being, I have events scheduled at the University of Murcia, the European University Institute and the Luxembourg Centre for European Law, and hopefully more (not least at the LSE Law School, and in Brussels) will follow.

It would be really wonderful to keep the discussion going, so please do reach out if you have ideas in this sense! It has always been my view that State aid and subsidy regulation do not attract the academic attention they deserve. Hopefully the book will contribute to remedying that anomaly.
