Books and Other Publications

The Group is very active in research and writing, with numerous publications covering both European Community Law on public procurement, the law of Community Member States, international procurement issues (UNCITRAL, WTO etc.) and procurement and development.

The Public Procurement Law Review edited by the Director of the PPRG, Professor Sue Arrowsmith, is the leading international journal on public procurement law. The Review appears six times a year with three sections – major articles, news and analysis, and book reviews. Dr Ping Wang and Dr Aris Georgopoulos are both Board Members of the Review. Sope Williams and Dr Annamaria La Chimia are Book Reviews Editors.
