Public private partnerships (PPPs) have been a controversial
approach to procuring public infrastructure services. Against a
background of recent trenchant criticism of PPPs, Mervyn K. Lewis,
a leading scholar in the area, re-examines their utility. He
questions what PPPs can and cannot do, why governments choose this
route and whether PPPs can ever be good value for money. The author
analyses the extensive use of PPPs for hospitals and transport
megaprojects and outlines the key challenges to implementing them,
shaping the future direction of the PPP model. Exploring the
psychological influences on decision-making, the book also puts a
new focus on the people delivering the project; it is not only a
matter of selecting the right model. Professor Lewis concludes
that, although the PPP model remains problematic, if chosen
appropriately every procurement approach has its place in good
policy. Providing an in-depth exploration of the features of PPPs
and the complexities of megaprojects, Rethinking Public Private
Partnerships will be of considerable interest to academics and
students of public policy, economic regulation and governance, and
public finance. Its re-assessment of the field will also prove
invaluable for government procurers, advisory firms and PPP
experts.
