Shaming into compliance? Country reporting of convention adherence to the International Labour Organization

Budget Execution in Public Procurement Processes of Goods and Services of a Higher Polytechnical School. Chimborazo, 2023

“…These contemporary political and democratic theories intertwine both the independent variable budget execution with the dependent processes of public procurement, because democracy and its theorization affect aspects such as; (a) political liberalism and mentions the importance of the notions of society, politics, culture and civic friendship; b) the conception of solidarity and c) post-structuralist pluralism of society, which relates that public policies are based on several theories for their creation, based on the fact that the execution and contracting of goods of a state must be legally and theoretically supported for its application (Kritsch & da Silva, 2022b) within the framework of public policies it is essential to technify and modernize several processes in matters of contracting and execution by the state in a reliable way (Barragán, 2018).

It is a frequent claim in this literature that shaming works through domestic politics ( Keck and Sikkink 1998 ), as decision-makers adjust state behavior in fear of being punished by public opinion ( Davis et al 2012 ; Franklin 2015 ; Jacquete and Jamieson 2016 ).…”
