Public-private partnerships (PPPs) have excited the political world
over the past few decades. Few books, however, have viewed them as
both a phenomenon of politics as well as a technical matter aiming
to better deliver public infrastructure. Through fiercely
independent scholarship, this book investigates the various logics
of PPPs. In doing so, it challenges those involved in delivering
public infrastructure to think more about power, language and
politics in decision-making. The Logic of Public-Private
Partnerships takes a cross-disciplinary perspective on PPPs. It
notes their global popularity, and considers the varying
definitions used and policy positions taken by different
governments. It discusses the contemporary, international evidence
supporting and opposing the formation of these partnerships, with
reference to efficiency, value-for-money and governance. The
simultaneous growth of PPPs in some countries is observed along
with their demise in others. The book also articulates the solid
reasons for which governments might adopt PPPs, before pointing to
continuing research priorities. This book will be useful for
academics interested in PPPs and infrastructure governance, as well
as professionals in the infrastructure sector and practitioners
seeking to understand the PPP phenomenon. It will also be an
invaluable tool for undergraduate students with an interest in
infrastructure projects, and postgraduate students studying PPPs
and the issues surrounding them.
