In recent years, ideological shifts and real managerial constraints have forced states everywhere to rely on private resources to solve public problems. Focusing on instances where the state retains ownership of assets and rights, even if it temporarily devolves its authority to a private entity (profit or non-profit), this book uncovers the ways in which these private actors are not just suppliers of materials goods, but increasingly policy influencers. More specifically, the book focuses on the gendered dynamics within the law, policy and practice of public procurement and investigates how vulnerability is conceptualized and coded in the process of public acquisition of works, goods, and services from private suppliers. In this book, a series of rich case studies from Africa, the Middle East and Europe show how vulnerability theory can inform the design of public institutions that are more responsible and responsive to gender-informed demands for social justice. This first book to integrate vulnerability theory into public procurement studies in global and comparative perspectives will appeal to scholars and others with interests in gendered dynamics in law and society, international development, public policy, and international political economy"-- |cProvided by publisher. 650 0 Government purchasing |xSocial aspects |vCase studies. 650 0 Social justice |xEconomic aspects |vCase studies. 650 0 Economic development |xSocial aspects |vCase studies. 650 7 Economic development |xSocial aspects. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00901865 650 7 Social justice |xEconomic aspects. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01122606 655 7 Case studies. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01423765 700 1 Nyeck, S.
