The global financial crisis hit the world in a remarkable way in
late 2008. Many governments and private sector organizations, who
had considered Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) to be their
future, were forced to rethink their strategy in the wake of the
crisis, as a lot of the available private funding upon which PPPs
relied, was suddenly no longer available to the same extent. At the
same time, governments and international organizations, like the
European Union, were striving to make closer partnerships between
the public sector and the private sector economy a hallmark for
future policy initiatives.
This book examines PPPs in the context of turbulent times
following the global financial crisis (GFC). PPPs can come in many
forms, and the book sets out to distinguish between the many
alternative views of partnerships; a project, a policy, a symbol of
the role of the private sector in a mixed economy, or a governance
tool - all within a particular cultural and historical context.
This book is about rethinking PPPs in the wake of the financial
crisis and aims to give a clearer picture of the kind of conceptual
frameworks that researchers might employ to now study PPPs. The
crisis took much of the glamour out of PPPs, but theoretical
advances have been made by researchers in a number of areas and
this book examines selected new research approaches to the study of
PPPs.
