Social Public Purchasing: Addressing a Critical Void in Public Purchasing Research
本文提出社会公共采购的理论框架，梳理学术与实践研究，识别关键知识空白，为公共管理领域利用政府购买力改善社会结果提供研究方向。
Abstract Since governments are the largest buyers globally, they have enormous purchasing power. Government purchasing, therefore, has potential to be leveraged to improve social outcomes, such as helping disadvantaged communities, ensuring labor rights, and minimizing negative environmental impacts. However, as yet, there is little understanding about social public purchasing research in the field of public administration. We provide a theoretical framework for organizing research around social public purchasing. We then survey both the scholarly and practitioner research on social public purchasing in order to develop a clear understanding of the critical knowledge gaps and the potential for important social public purchasing research.
