Conclusion
Juan Jorge Piernas López is a Doctor of Laws from the European
University Institute in Florence (2013). He formerly graduated from
Harvard University (LL.M., Harvard Law School 2007), the College of
Europe (Master in Advanced European Studies, Natolin, Poland 2005)
and the University of Murcia (Law degree, Spain, 2003). Juan Jorge
is currently assistant professor of European Union and
International law at the University of Murcia and consultant to the
World
Bank in State aid matters. He previously worked for the
international law firm Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton, focussing
on European Union and Spanish Competition, Trade, and State Aid Law
matters
(Brussels, 2007-2009), and the European Commission (Stagiare at the
Legal Service in 2005 and temporal agent at DG Competition in
2006). Juan Jorge Piernas López has published extensively on
International and European Union Law.
Piernas' recurring argument is that by focusing on the position of
the Commission and developments in state aid policy, it is possible
to provide a better understanding of the development of the case
law. If only because of the novelty of this effort, the work is
certainly a major and remarkable contribution to the field of state
aid law. State aid law has not yet been approached on this basis
and the coherent and consistent discussion of case law is in itself
likely to set the book up as one of the important referential works
for some time to come... Piernas has produced an important piece of
scholarship with a clear added value.

It will be a lasting reference in the field both from a substantive
and a methodological perspective. The author displays a very
sophisticated understanding of the field and of the factors at play
in the decision-making process. More importantly, he has found an
elegant and effective way to introduce these factors in the
analysis.
