Apart from the creation of a virtual library for “federal” documents, the projects aims to create a range of academic outcomes, such as the “Oxford Handbook on Federalism” (Oxford University Press – under contract). The following is a preliminary list of publications that have already resulted from the project.

Corvaglia, Maria Anna: Public Procurement and Labour Rights: Towards Coherence in International Instruments of Procurement Regulation, (Oxford: Hart Publishing)
Abstract: This book examines the complex issue of the use of public procurement for the achievement of labour law and policy. The book sheds a new light on the legal and political implications of the social use of public procurement and it offers an innovative comparative approach, discussing the ways in which the different international regulatory instruments are able to implement labour rights (i.e. WTO Government Procurement Agreement, the EU Procurement Regime, the UNCITRAL Model Law, and the World Bank Guidelines). In particular it is concerned with the fragmentation of the international framework of procurement law into regulatory models that develop independently and that follow different mechanisms for the inclusion of labour policy and labour law.

Corvaglia, Maria Anna: “Public Procurement and Private Standards: Ensuring Sustainability under the WTO Government Procurement Agreement,” Volume 19, Issue 3 Journal of International Economic Law
Abstract: This article analyses the main legal implications inside the World Trade Organization (WTO) regulatory framework of the use of private standards in public procurement. The use of these private initiatives, if crucial for the effective implementation of social and environmental objectives in procurement practices; it has also the potential to generate distortive and discriminatory effects. In the paper, the inclusion of these voluntary initiatives is analysed under the lens of the non-discriminatory principle framed in the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA) of the WTO, establishing a comparative analysis with the Agreement on Technical Barrier to Trade.

Corvaglia, Maria Anna: “South-South Technology Transfer Addressing Climate Change and its (Missing) International Regulatory Framework”, CCLR – Carbon and Climate Law Review, n. 2/2014, 1-13
Abstract: In the ongoing discussion on the crucial role of technology to address climate change and the increasing international pressure on developing countries to combat global warming, this paper emphasises the role of developing countries as sources and not only as recipients of international technology innovations. This paper aims at clarifying the potential of South-South technology transfer and its international legal implications. Highlighting the institutional gap in the international environmental architecture, this research has the objective to also explore the trade-related incentives available at the moment in the multilateral trading system. |
