Abstract

This chapter lays down the foundation for understanding GPP and the underlying concept of public procurement. It starts by defining the term of public procurement, discussing the need for regulation and by illustrating the tensions that can arise between its various objectives. Thereby, it highlights possible conflicts between what is termed “international procurement” and the protectionist practice to national interests of the local industry. Finally, this chapter depicts the controversy surrounding “horizontal policies” in public procurement with the aim of embedding the phenomenon of GPP in this wider context.
