Chinese State Owned Enterprises and EU Merger Control

Svetlicinii has produced a clear and compact study that will be of interest to anyone concerned with state capitalism and European economic law. It provides a good overview of EU merger control and state capitalist structures in China, as well as the current developments in the EU...the book thus provides a very good basis for practical advice, but also for further academic research in this area. (Philipp Reinhold, European Competition Law Review.) In Chinese State Owned Enterprises and EU Merger Control, Alexandr Svetlicinii provides us with a well-written, well-structured, well-researched and, above all, a timely guide on the issue, whose particular challenges will undoubtedly contribute to its enormous relevance, especially to legal practitioners, national competition authorities, policymakers and government officials. (Marta Teixeira Pires, Market and Competition Law Review.) With the expansion of China's going out strategy, Chinese SOEs and their overseas investments are playing an ever-increasing role in this process. The book comes under this context and offers valuable insight into the relevant rules in the dimension of the EU. It is a must-read for researchers, legal practitioners and government officials who would like to have an in-depth understanding of the topic. Not only that, it can be a very useful resource for anyone interested in EU-China economic relations. (Zhijin Liu, Concurrences.) Svetlicinii has produced a well-researched, detailed yet succinct work on the treatment of Chinese SOEs under EU law, uniquely from the perspective of both EU and Chinese law. The added value of his work in particular lies in the combined approach of the subject from the perspective of both spheres of law and the impressive degree of systematic analysis.
