Book Synopsis Procurement by International Organizations by : Elisabetta Morlino
Download or read book Procurement by International Organizations written by Elisabetta Morlino and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-24 with total page 527 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do international organizations procure goods, services and works to carry out their institutional mission? How does this procurement activity affect individuals? Does the procurement relationship between international organizations and private subjects bring an even distribution of rights and duties? Are international organizations accountable to private subjects and states when allocating their resources through procurement? The book explores the complex phenomenon of procurement by international organizations from the point of view of the relationship between international organizations and private subjects. It provides, for the first time, a systematization and conceptualization of the emerging rules and practices of procurement by international organizations. It also identifies the international political dynamics and interplay of interests underlying these rules and practices. In doing so, it shows how these dynamics shape the exercise of international public authority over private subjects, and the scope of private subjects' rights vis-à-vis international organizations.

Book Synopsis The International Procurement System by : Jean Heilman Grier
Download or read book The International Procurement System written by Jean Heilman Grier and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a multifaceted portrait of international procurement, which is both a highly important and a highly problematic element of the international trading system. It is important because governments purchase enormous amounts of goods and services. It is problematic because it is uniquely sensitive to the twin forces that shape international trade: liberalization and protectionism. Liberalization strives to open foreign markets. Protectionism moves in the opposite direction and aims to protect domestic markets from foreign competition. The international procurement system has developed a sophisticated set of agreements that open foreign procurement markets while allowing countries to balance the antithetical forces of liberalization and protectionism.The book examines the agreements that have shaped the international procurement system over 75 years. It focusses on the WTO Government Procurement Agreement and considers how it and other agreements have balanced liberalization against the protection of domestic procurement. At the center of this story is the United States, which has moved from being a strong proponent of expanding international procurement markets to a more protectionist posture. In 1981, it was a strong advocate of the first international procurement agreement. Thirty-five years later, it pivoted away from liberalization towards protectionism under Presidents Trump and Biden.In contrast to the U.S. approach, the European Union has engaged in an ambitious program to expand its access to international markets. It has outpaced the United States in the negotiation of free trade agreements. The US has not negotiated a new free trade agreement since 2012 and it withdrew from a major Asia-Pacific agreement. The book reviews the history of the international procurement system and examines the major agreements that shape it. It illustrates how these agreements give individual countries considerable leeway in balancing liberalization and protectionism. Finally, it considers the opportunities for expanding the international procurement system and the prospects of bringing China, the second largest economy, into the system.

Book Synopsis Public Procurement by : Sue Arrowsmith
Download or read book Public Procurement written by Sue Arrowsmith and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2002 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public procurement is big business. International organisations and governments at national, regional, state and city levels are major buyers of goods and services. However, public procurement is a relatively under-researched and new discipline, which, uniquely, brings together contributions from the fields of economics and law. This two-volume set presents some of the major contributions in the field. It includes papers on outsourcing versus internal provision; public procurement and the role of competition and transparency; corruption; public procurement as a tool of industrial, social and environmental policy; public procurement as a trade barrier and its regulation under international trade agreements; and enforcing public procurement rules.
Book Synopsis Handbook of Deep Trade Agreements by : Aaditya Mattoo
Download or read book Handbook of Deep Trade Agreements written by Aaditya Mattoo and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2020-09-23 with total page 768 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deep trade agreements (DTAs) cover not just trade but additional policy areas, such as international flows of investment and labor and the protection of intellectual property rights and the environment. Their goal is integration beyond trade or deep integration. These agreements matter for economic development. Their rules influence how countries (and hence, the people and firms that live and operate within them) transact, invest, work, and ultimately, develop. Trade and investment regimes determine the extent of economic integration, competition rules affect economic efficiency, intellectual property rights matter for innovation, and environmental and labor rules contribute to environmental and social outcomes. This Handbook provides the tools and data needed to analyze these new dimensions of integration and to assess the content and consequences of DTAs. The Handbook and the accompanying database are the result of collaboration between experts in different policy areas from academia and other international organizations, including the International Trade Centre (ITC), Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), and World Trade Organization (WTO).

Book Synopsis Green Public Procurement under WTO Law by : Rika Koch
Download or read book Green Public Procurement under WTO Law written by Rika Koch and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-08-31 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the strategic use of public procurement as a way to establish “buying green” as a common practice – not only in the EU, but all over the world. However, imposing environmental requirements may affect the conditions of competition between suppliers, especially between local and foreign ones. This is particularly relevant for signatory states to the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA), a plurilateral WTO agreement that aims at liberalizing public procurement markets. So how can these countries strike a balance between trade concerns and using the environmental potential of public procurement? What scope does the GPA 2012 leave for environmental criteria and how are signatory states making use of it? The need for answers to these questions is becoming even more pressing with the increasing use of green public procurement (GPP). This book discusses approaches to finding legal solutions to this question, using a multilayered approach to do so: In a first step, an analysis of the pertinent GPA provisions serves to delineate the scope for GPP under WTO law. In a second step, an evaluation of the implementation of the respective provision at the regional and national level by the EU and Switzerland helps reveal the impact of the GPA on its signatory states. While the book chiefly focuses on the legal framework for GPP, it also takes into account the latest developments in jurisprudence and policy initiatives. It concludes by proposing practical solutions regarding the specific design of GPP policies and measures in compliance with the GPA. The comparative approach applied in the book, focusing on the implementation of the WTO/GPA by two selected signatories, makes it an informative and insightful resource for practitioners, policymakers and legal scholars from all GPA signatory countries, extending its relevance beyond the selected examples (the EU and Switzerland).
Book Synopsis Public Procurement and Human Rights by : Olga Martin-Ortega
Download or read book Public Procurement and Human Rights written by Olga Martin-Ortega and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2019 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely work reflects on the role and obligations of the state as a buyer of goods and services, from the dual disciplinary perspectives of public procurement and human rights. Through theoretical and doctrinal analyses, and practice-focused case studies, it interrogates the evolving character of public procurement as an interface for multiple normative regimes and competing policies. Challenging the prevailing paradigm which subordinates human rights to narrowly-defined economic goals, insightful contributions advance a compelling case for greater inter-disciplinarity and policy coherence as crucial to realising international policies such as those embodied in the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.

Download or read book International Legal Responsibility of International Organizations in the ILC Draft Articles and Beyond written by Sarah Bayani and published by Universitätsverlag Göttingen. This book was released on 2022 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The phenomenon of proliferation of international organizations has urged focus on the responsibility of international organizations under international law as the effect of their activities is witnessed everywhere in our daily life. The main purpose of the present book is to examine and review some specific aspects relevant to the question of international legal responsibility of international organizations, mainly, with a view to assessing the International Law Commission’s work on the codification of the international legal rules applicable on international organizations in this area. At the same time, the intention is to address the major challenge to the codification of general rules for international organizations, namely, their wide-varying nature and their differences from each other. Furthermore, the perspective has been enlarged by elaborating on the broader concept of accountability of international organizations.
