“Luca Rubini does a masterful job at breaking his subject down and building it back up again, skillfully placing the constituent elements of subsidy and state aid in the legal, economic, and policy contexts in which they operate.” Todd Friedbacher, World Trade Review (2010), pp 682-684;

“Rubini’s volume promises to have a long shelf life. It is an essential reference for policy officials, jurists and practitioners alike.” Gary Hufbauer, Journal of International Economic Law (2010) 1145-1147;

 “… an impressive and masterful study … Many of the findings of Rubini’s book present valuable signposts on the road to better, more consistent and more effective international rules and control mechanisms …”. Jan A. Winter, Common Market Law Review (2014) 1039-1042;

“In the last decade or so …  the research literature has reached a level of prominence and sophistication to match other areas of EU law (let alone competition law). Consider, for instance, Rubini’s monograph on the definition of subsidy in State aid and WTO law. This is not the kind of literature that one keeps in an office only to be consulted for immediate application when the need arises: it is the kind of book that can be read outside office hours, and without being ashamed of doing so…” Francesco De Cecco, European State Aid Quarterly (2013) 429.
