Public procurement has been considered as the most important non-tariff barrier for the completion of the common market and its regulation received priority by the EU institutions and member states. This is a guide containing up-to-date information and advice on public procurement, aimed at academics and researchers in the fields of law, public policy and government studies, policymakers, government officials and legal practitioners. The book investigates the subject area from an interdisciplinary perspective, without loosing touch with its legal analysis.
