The Applied Law and Economics of Public ProcurementAuthor(s): Gustavo Piga, Steen Treumer\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781138686434, 978-1138686434\nSynopsis\nThis book explores Public Procurement novelties and challenges in an interdisciplinary way. The process whereby the public sector awards contracts to companies for the supply of works, goods or services is a powerful instrument to ensure the achievement of new public goals as well as an efficient use of public funds. This book brings together the papers that have been presented during the \""First Symposium on Public Procurement\"", a conference held in Rome last summer and to be repeated again yearly.\n\nAs Public Procurement touches on many fields (law, economics, political science, engineering) the editors have used an interdisciplinary approach to discuss four main topics of interest which represent the four different parts in which this book is divided.
