Private Partnership

Local government practices in Thailand have become more networking orgovernance-oriented since the promulgation of the Constitution of 1997 and the Decentralization Plan and Process Act of 1999. Several local governments have applied modern concepts of New Public Management (NPM) in order to perform their tasks. Public- Private Partnership is, therefore, regarded as a mode of governance for the sake of successful public service delivery. This article aims to describe and analyze local governance in political economy perspective. The case study of Rayong Municipality is selected to present the factors that drove the emergence of public-private partnership and how local government coalitions cooperate in public service delivery, especially the case of solid-waste management. The waste problem in Rayong Municipality had risen considerably due to the rapid increase in population, a trend that may continue in the future. The causes of the problem are many; lack of proper disposal units, limited budget, personnel and landfill areas. This problem has a negative impact on the quality of life in the municipality and therefore this is best dealt with collectively. The project that has been implemented is the waste recycling scheme, garbage banking in schools and communities. The Waste-to-Fertiliser and Energy project makes the Integrated Waste Management Approach complete with the cooperation from other government agencies and NGOs and the involvement of the private sector as PPP.

Institutional Analysis And Development

There has often been a gap between policy intentions and outcomes in the field of local governance and public service delivery. Analyzing the factors for these discrepancies requires multi-level approaches that relate policy decisions formulated at the national and international level with the decisions of local governance stakeholders. An Institutional Analysis and Development framework is necessary ability to link multiple local governance levels. Yet most common literatures have been limited to the study of collective action among local communities without considering higher institutional and government levels. To overcome this limitation, I set the methodology of the framework, which bridges the gap between institutional, historical analysis, power-centers, and discourse analysis. This article aims at examining current public service delivery status, analyzing challenges of public service delivery of local government and assessing people’s experience of public service delivery of local government. In conclusion, current status of Local Government is illegal, incomplete and dysfunctional as it is in its service delivery. The major challenge is political instability and political reluctances for local election. The people’s experience over the public service is below the satisfactory level.Research Nepal Journal of Development Studies Vol.1(1) 2018 83-92
