“…For example, in many European countries the partnership between public and private spheres can be seen in a broad range of policy sectors beyond that of public utilities (its original sector of adoption). The public-private partnership (as well as project financing) is now perceived as an inclusive term covering a variety of uses, policy problems and strategies, including town-planning, social and environmental policies (Hodge and Greve 2007). It has become a generic tool, and its own regulations and technicalities are broadly defined.…”

How policy instruments are chosen: patterns of decision makers’ choices

Policy instruments are a fundamental component of public policies. Policy instruments are often a result of mediation within the policy design process, whenever decision makers reshape existing instruments without introducing any real innovation. This results in imitation, layering and ambiguity in tool choice selection, and raises the theoretical problem of the logic according to which decision makers choose certain specific policy instruments rather than others. Decision makers may have different reasons for choosing certain specific instruments, although these reasons should be connected to the two main purposes of decision-making, that is, the search for effectiveness and the construction of a shared sense, a common acceptance. Thus, the choice of instruments is a question of potentially conflicting drivers that decision makers have to cope with within a specific decisional situation, when asked to solve those problems that have arisen. This paper examines this question and offers an analytical framework based on the two main factors in terms of which the selection of instruments is channelled and assessed: legitimacy and instrumentality. The boundaries created by how decision makers perceive these two dimensions mean that only four selection patterns can be chosen by decision makers: hybridization, stratification, contamination or routinization.

An Overview of Critical Success Factors of Public Private Partnership in the Delivery of Urban Infrastructure and Services

The inability of the public sector to independently meet the increasing demand for infrastructure and services has prompted many governments to adopt Public-private partnership (PPP) as an alternative strategy. In worldwide practices, however, there are mixed results and controversy in the application of PPP model. The Public-private partnership has, for this reason, become an increasingly active research area mainly to establish the Critical Success Factors (CSFs) towards improving the PPP model. This article reviews the current debate on the subject of PPP and compares the findings of different literature regarding the relative importance of CSFs of PPP projects. The authors argue that the CSFs of PPP projects are distinctive to the context of location and time. The article concludes that this subjectivity has implications for the "guaranteed" success of both existing and future PPP projects.

“…Under PFI-type, the government specifies the output but the private actors retain the residual control rights regarding the service's delivery (Bennet & Iossa, 2010). In this sense, the PPP concept is more comprehensive, covering several other modes of private participation (privatization, concessions, outsourcing, institutional cooperation for joint production, and public policy networks) in the provision of public utilities (Chong et al, 2006;Guasch, Laffont, & Straub, 2008;Hodge & Greve, 2007).…”

Organizing Prisons through Public-Private Partnerships: a cross-country investigation

In this paper, we analyze the private participation in prison services in three countries: Brazil, France, and the United States. We highlight striking differences in efficiency between these countries and argue that the explanation for these differences is not restricted to the way property rights are distributed (i.e. public vs. private management). Instead, our analysis suggests that understanding those differences also requires an analysis of the incentives provided by contractual choices as well as decision and revenue rights distribution and institutional constraints. The theoretical literature usually analyzes these blocks separately, and often focuses on property rights distribution. We argue that an efficient arrangement is the result of the way these elements are combined, giving rise to a distinctive governance structure.
