Legal Perspectives on Sustainability

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"Despite its huge importance, public procurement may seem a technical subject, but Nina Boeger successfully brings it to life through her excellent analysis from the viewpoint of sustainable corporate governance." Tony Prosser, University of Bristol "Sustainability, though ubiquitous in modern discourse, remains contested in theory and praxis. This collection offers insightful coverage of challenges in operationalising sustainability in principle and in key areas of law." Karen Morrow, Swansea University "Amidst rising spending on public procurement and growing evidence of serious failures in service provision by profit-oriented, often highly-financialized, private providers, Nina Boeger's innovative, thoughtful and timely book explores some of the ways in which alternative, more inclusive, less financially oriented providers might be integrated into, and used to improve, the provision of public services. In challenging the idea that the choice is a simple one between provision by private or state-owned companies, the book serves the important purpose of highlighting not merely the need for experimentation but the wide range of institutional possibility".
