‘The Elgar Concise Encyclopedia of Aviation Law, published by Edward Elgar Publishing, stands out as an essential contribution to the evolving field of aviation law. The entries, edited by a panel of distinguished legal scholars and practitioners, offer an accessible yet comprehensive overview of the key concepts, principles, and challenges characterizing modern aviation regulation and governance. Edited by two of the most distinguished academics in the field, Anna Masutti, Tenured Professor of Air & Space Law at the University of Bologna, and Pablo Mendes de Leon, Emeritus Professor of Air & Space Law at Leiden University, the Elgar Concise Encyclopedia of Aviation Law represents a significant addition to the scientific literature on aviation law. Notably, Professor Masutti and Professor Mendes de Leon have curated a comprehensive and accessible reference work that successfully addresses both the enduring fundamentals and the emerging complexities of aviation law.’
