Broadly, a Public-Private Partnership (or PPP) is any collaboration
between the public and private sector, but research in the UK has
tended to focus on those that have been used for major
infrastructure projects, such as roads, schools, and hospitals.
This book compares and contrasts PPP research in the UK with that
of cases in the USA, including interviews with some of the key
stakeholders (decision makers in the public sector, contractors,
and users) of PPPs in North America, and observations of PPPs in
action (such as schools and roads). No prior major studies have
compared the UK and USA when it comes to the development and
operation of PPPs, and this book fills a gap in the literature,
addressing a number of key questions, including: Is the private
sector viewed with less suspicion in the USA when it comes to
projects that would normally fall under the aegis of the public
sector? How do politics affect PPPs? How do key players in the PPP
process define project success, determine the merits and drawbacks
of the initiative, and deal with controversial elements of the
scheme such as value for money and risk transfer? The result is a
volume that offers practical advice for the future development of
PPPs in the UK. Broadly, a Public-Private Partnership (or PPP) is
