Edward Elgar Publishing Edward Elgar - The Challenge of Public-Private Partnerships

Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) represent a growing global trend in public policy. As these cooperative arrangements between public and private sector actors become more common, understanding their impact is essential for policy makers and researchers. This book by Edward Elgar Publishing provides a deep look into how these joint ventures function in the modern world. While PPPs are still evolving, this text utilizes existing research to examine these institutional arrangements. It compares PPP reforms against traditional methods used to provide public sector services and infrastructure. By studying international experience, the book explores the successes and failures of these models, helping readers understand who is most affected by these shifts in service delivery. This is a valuable resource for those studying governmental accounting, business, and law who need to understand the real-world application of public-private cooperation.
