Making policy reform work: a comparative analysis of social procurement

该项目旨在澄清成功实施新出现的社会采购政策改革所需的体制和跨部门条件；这些改革寻求通过公共支出为遭受社会排斥的人增加就业和商业机会。通过在维多利亚和苏格兰主要司法管辖区进行的混合方法比较研究，该项目将扩大实施政策改革的学术知识，这些改革依赖于政府和非政府行为者以新的方式合作，以及对实现社会采购政策目标所需的实际理解。这将有助于有效的公共支出，并最终有助于纠正排斥的社会后果。

This project aims to clarify the institutional and cross-sectoral conditions needed for successful implementation of emerging social procurement policy reforms; these seek through public spending to increase employment and business opportunities for people experiencing social exclusion. Via a mixed-methods comparative study in the leading jurisdictions of Victoria and Scotland, the project will extend scholarly knowledge of implementing policy reforms that rely on government and non-government actors working together in new ways, and practical understanding of what is needed to realise social procurement policy goals. This will contribute to effective public expenditure and ultimately help redress the societal consequences of exclusion.
