As governments are major buyers of goods and services, foreign companies are keen to be able to participate in procurement opportunities on an equal footing with national firms.

The countries studied span both advanced, high-income economies and emerging economies. Some are members of the WTO procurement agreement, others are not.

This book explores whether there has been nonetheless internationalization of good procurement practices, and what current public purchasing processes suggest as regards the value added of signing on to binding rules of the game in this area.
