Description

Government procurement is both a highly important and a highly problematic component of the international trading system. It is important because governments purchase enormous amounts of goods and services and problematic because it is especially sensitive to the twin forces of liberalization and protectionism. Governments face strong pressures to buy domestic products and at the same time open foreign procurement markets for their suppliers. The international procurement system has developed a sophisticated set of agreements that open foreign procurement markets while allowing countries to balance liberalization and protectionism.

This book strips away the complexity of the international procurement system and explains its building blocks – its foundational agreements, key players, challenges, and prospects for continued expansion.
