n Stellenbosch Law Review = Stellenbosch Regstydskrif - Public Procurement Regulation in Africa, G. Quinot & S. Arrowsmith (Eds.) : book review

Abstract

Research on public procurement in Africa is not as prevalent as in the developed world. This presents a stumbling block for a proper understanding and improvement of public procurement regulation in Africa. In South Africa it is only in the last few years that public procurement has come to the fore as a separate field of study, notably so because of the work of professors Phoebe Bolton, (who did her doctoral thesis on government procurement in South Africa) and Geo Quinot (who did his doctoral thesis on the judicial regulation of state commercial activity) from the African Public Procurement Regulation Research Unit, Faculty of Law, University of Stellenbosch. They have since published widely, including textbooks, on public procurement.
