This is a blog about the use of emerging technologies to boost the governance of public procurement. It used to be a blog on EU law, with a focus on free movement, public procurement and competition law issues (thus the long archive of entries about those topics). I use it to publish my thoughts and to test some ideas. All comments are personal and in no way bind any of the institutions to which I am affiliated and, particularly, the University of Bristol Law School. I hope to spur discussion and look forward to your feedback and participation.

Interesting paper on use of theory in public procurement research (Flynn & Davis, 2014)

June 24, 2015

I have just read A Flynn and P Davis, "Theory in public procurement research" (2014) 14 (21) Journal of Public Procurement 139-180, which had been on the "to read" pile for a bit too long. Their paper focuses on procurement/supply-chain management scholarship, which will make it seem "peripheral" for legal academics. However, I think that their findings on the need to beef up the use of theory in public procurement research will translate well to legal scholarship, particularly that of an interdisciplinary nature. Well worth reading.
