Through a bottom-up approach to case studies and comparative analyses, scholars, practitioners, and social activists write about the organizational mechanisms and implementation gaps in public procurement governance in light of the general premises of national reform. Reforming the ways in which government purchases works, goods, and services from the private sector is one of the most sweeping policy reform undertaken in Africa in the past decade. Despite the transnational scope of policy change, very little is known about the mechanisms of public procurement governance at the subnational level. The argument in this volume is that policy reforms that mitigate contractual hazards along the three-dimensional "law-politics-business matrix" are more likely to bring about meaningful institutional transformation and broader social accountability. Key to substantive transformation of public procurement is the revitalization and professionalization of the public sector to meet the opportunities and challenges of development by contract. 000763024 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (viewed August 18, 2016). 000763024 650_0 $$aGovernment purchasing$$zAfrica. 000763024 650_0 $$aPolitical planning$$zAfrica. 000763024 650_0 $$aPublic law$$zAfrica. 000763024 650_0 $$aPublic administration$$zAfrica. 000763024 650_0 $$aDevelopment economics$$zAfrica. 000763024 651_0 $$aAfrica$$xPolitics and government. 000763024 7001_ $$aNyeck, S.N.$$eeditor. 000763024 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9781137521361 000763024 830_0 $$aContemporary African political economy. 000763024 852__ $$bebk 000763024 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1057/978-1-137-52137-8$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000763024 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:763024$$pGLOBAL_SET 000763024 980__ $$aEBOOK 000763024 980__ $$aBIB 000763024 982__ $$aEbook 000763024 983__ $$aOnline 000763024 994__ $$a92$$bISE
