Over the last ten years public private partnerships have become
ever more popular worldwide, expanding the body of experience among
construction professionals, government agencies, and industry. In
these economically challenging times, PPP has emerged as a crucial
framework for providing infrastructure, and also to boost
construction industry activity, while shielding the taxpayer from
some of the cost. Understanding the lessons learnt is essential to
ensuring the success of future projects, and this timely book will
prepare the reader to do just that. Starting by defining PPP
itself, part one is designed to help the novice to get to grips
with the basics of this topic. Part two tackles the practicalities
of PPPs, including successful implementation, managing the risks
involved, and how to assess the suitability of a project for the
PPP route. Part three presents detailed case studies from Asia,
Africa, and Australia to illustrate how PPPs should be managed, how
problems emerge, and how PPPs can differ across the world. Drawing
on extensive internationally conducted research, from both industry
and academia, the authors have written the essential PPP guide.
Taking into consideration the perspectives of those in the public
sector and the private sector, as well as built environment
professionals, it is essential reading for anyone preparing to work
on public private partnerships in construction.

This book presents an extensive study on the extant constructs of
corruption in infrastructure-related projects and aims to
contribute to the determination and elimination of its incidence
and prevalence in infrastructure projects. The book conducts a
comprehensive examination of the various determining factors of
corruption that negatively affect the procurement process and, in
the end, result in cost and time overruns. The authors present an
in-depth understanding of how the identified determining factors of
corruption can be addressed. Thus, it is intended to broaden the
reader's knowledge of the causes, risk indicators, and different
forms of corrupt practices in the procurement process of
infrastructure works, before explaining how they affect its stages
and activities A dynamic model is developed to demonstrate how to
tackle the overall impact of corruption within the procurement
process and, at the same time, increase the effectiveness of the
extant anti-corruption measures. In short, this book demonstrates
that the fight against corruption in the procurement process is
strategically feasible and must continue. This book is essential
reading for academics, researchers, professionals and stakeholders
in the procurement of infrastructure projects and civil works, as
well as those with an interest in corruption, construction
management and construction project management.
This book discusses how Public-Private Partnership (PPP) is
practiced in developed and developing economies. The book
demonstrates how PPP as a concept has grown over the years with
many governments particularly from developing economies/countries
seeking to enhance infrastructure growth and development through
this scheme. Further, the book explores how PPP has become the
major infrastructure procurement policy adopted by many governments
globally to address the rapid increase in demand for infrastructure
due to the increase in population growth. Although, there are many
available textbooks on PPP, this book is unique because it provides
in-depth analysis and discussion on the international best
practices of PPP from developed and developing economies
perspectives. This book provides strategic measures, useful
practices and information about the similarities and differences in
PPP practices in developed and developing economies based on
empirical evidence and case studies. This book is structured in
nine chapters. The first chapter explores the basic concept of
PPPs. The second chapter looks at the global development and
practices of PPP particularly from developed and developing
economies' perspectives. The third to the eight chapters explores
critical topics and issues in international PPP practices from
developed and developing economies perspectives. The topics
included in this book are: governments motivations for adopting
PPPs, barriers to PPP implementation, measuring PPP project
success, risk management in PPPs, causes of conflict and conflict
resolution mechanisms in PPPs and management of unsolicited
proposals. The ninth chapter presents a comprehensive best practice
framework for implementing international PPP projects. This book is
useful to undergraduate and postgraduate students in architecture,
civil engineering, business, construction and project management,
researchers interested in PPP topics, international investors and
financiers, public authorities and departments and international
development banks. This book provides in-depth insights and
understanding on the best practices for PPP from the international
perspective especially from the viewpoint of countries with diverse
culture and policies. Importantly, readers will be adequately
informed of the similarities and differences of PPP practices and
processes in developed and developing economies based on empirical
evidence. Investors and governments will be informed of the
strategic plans and preventive actions to employ when engaging in
PPP arrangements in any part of the world.

This book is committed to provide a holistic view of corruption in
the public construction sector, a sector that has been perceived as
the most corrupt in the world. Relying on the new findings achieved
from a series of qualitative and quantitative studies, this book
unveils the specific forms of corruption, the principal causes of
corruption, and the prevailing anti-corruption strategies that are
used by the current practice. Furthermore, this book provides two
metrics that can assess the potential of corruption and the risk of
collusion in given public construction projects, respectively. This
book will enhance industry and research communities' understandings
of corruption in the public construction sector. It is also
informative to policy-makers and can help them come up with some
more effective strategies to eliminate corruption in the public
construction sector.
