Abstract/Description:
Contributions to this volume demonstrate the harmful consequences for workers and service users of a lack of legal and policy coherence across the fields of public procurement and human rights. Yet at the same time, this book illustrates the positive potential of public buying to drive business respect for human rights across government supply chains, in spite of regulatory frame¬works that have in general tended to stymy, rather than support, the efforts of contracting authorities and their personnel to identify and address human rights risks associated with government purchasing.
