Reviews

“The book impresses through its harmonious structure, approaching the subject first from a general perspective and focusing then on the specific situation in Shenzhen SEZ … . The multiple cross-references in the text contribute to keeping present to mind the full picture and the main line of argumentation. The summaries concluding each chapter facilitate also a better assimilation of the rich information provided, whereas the extensive bibliographical sources give opportunities for further relevant readings on the topic.” (Ionut Raduletu, China-EU Law Journal, Vol. 8 (3-4), May, 2023)
