In the World Trade Organization regime, government procurement is
largely excluded from the multilateral agreements. The
"plurilateral" WTO Agreement on Government Procurement, with its
challenging accession procedures and limited number of signatories,
cannot be said to succeed in its efforts to liberalize this area of
trade activity - more than 10 per cent of gross domestic product in
most countries. This study investigates the special sensitivities
of government procurement that have left major trade barriers
intact despite the WTO mandate that has proven so effective in
other areas. Professor Arrowsmith examines the following crucial
factors in depth: why and how procurement practices create barriers
to trade; the institutional structure for dealing with government
procurement in the GATT/WTO system; the impact of relevant WTO law
on national legal systems; the types of contracts and entities
covered in the Agreement on Government Procurement; how the
National Treatment principle and the Most Favored Nation obligation
affect government procurement; rules of WTO contract award
procedure and the controversy over their interpretation and
revision; the free trade versus social and environmental issues
question in the context of government procurement; and the
monitoring and enforcement of WTO procurement rules. Throughout the
presentation the author focuses on specific issues to illuminate
the overall pattern of her legal analysis. For example, practical
questions stemming from such activities as multi-phase tendering
and electronic procurement are raised for special scrutiny. The
legal literature of the WTO and its jurisprudence are frequently
brought into Professor Arrowsmith's arguments.
