Lili Jiang

Lili Jiang is working in the field of public procurement law. Her research project is to evaluate the use of soft law as a method for regulating procurement from the trade perspective. By using a theoretical legal analysis of the use of soft law instruments in the area of public procurement, she seek to provide detailed evaluation of current soft law procurement instruments, focusing on techniques. This will involve a contrast between soft law approaches and hard law approaches within the current international procurement instruments to see what soft law can better offer than hard law, and also compare different techniques employed by different soft law regimes in the context of international public procurement law. However, the research work is to draw out relevant factors purely based on legal analysis and certain secondary data sources rather than from relevant empirical study.

Lili graduated in July 2009
