Abstract

The article considers the history of the European Union (EU) and its failure to achieve political and military sovereignty and unity to fulfill its ambition to become one of the major blocs in a new multipolar world. It is allegedly the submission of the EU on to U.S. policies on world politics that has contributed to its current state. The author explores the models open to EU regarding its continental unification apart as an alternative to the geopolitical designs of the U.S.

Abstract

Green public procurement (GPP) is becoming a cornerstone of environmental policies both at European Union and Member State levels. Drawing upon a database of public authorities located in three Italian regions, this paper assesses the determinants and drawbacks of green procurement adoption. In particular, using an econometrical approach we tested the following propositions: (i) the existing awareness on GPP practices, tools and regulations does support public authorities to develop GPP strategies; (ii) the support of external experts in purchasing function does support public authorities to develop GPP practices; (iii) the small dimension of public authority is an obstacle to adopting GPP practices; (iv) ISO 14001 certified public authorities are more likely to develop GPP practices. The econometric analysis shows that the dimension of public authorities and the level of awareness of the existing tools for supporting GPP have a positive and significant effect on the probability that they adopt GPP practices.
