We undertake the first quantitative and broadly comparative study
of the structure and performance of partnership communities to our
knowledge. Our study addresses several important research
questions. How connected are the members of partnership
communities? How can we understand the quality of the projects a
community undertakes? How do political institutions shape their
structure and performance? After defining partnership communities
as networked communities of private firms which form the consortia
that enter into long-term contractual arrangements with
governments, we show how they are affected by government demand for
partners. We then provide an overview of those factors predicting
success in financing projects. Finally, we focus on the political
economy of partnership communities. We develop and test theoretical
predictions about how national institutions shape partnership
communities and the quality of projects. We also investigate
voters' preferences over alternative arrangements of infrastructure
delivery before drawing out implications for research and practice.
