The unprecedented growth of air traffic during the early years of industrial and economic reform in India led to the government’s decision to open Indian airspace to private and international operators. During this period, inadequate infrastructure and management’s inability to expand had created congestion in most of the airports. The urgent requirements for modernization and expansion with limited funds left the government in the dilemma of selecting the right kind of inter-organizational collaboration. After much deliberation and consideration, the government considered adopting the public-private partnership model. Without any prior experience and executional history, selection of partners was the key challenge before the government. The case summarizes one of the most significant public-private partnership projects in India and provides managerial insights into partner selection and execution challenges of large infrastructural projects typical to many developing countries.

In spite of the complexity in defining the boundary, the concept of Economic Zones (EZ) has been evolved as a way forward for the government of the developing countries for enhancing the national trade. Similarly the recent phenomenon of widespread Public Private Partnership (PPP) practices especially in infrastructure sector is also providing a window to develop many of such economic zones through PPP model as EZ typically is capital intensive. Bangladesh has discrete success both under PPP and EZ regime. However, developing EZ under PPP model has few commercial complexities as both the public and private sector need to bear some roles and obligations one of which is selection of appropriate location for EZ development. The location study for PPP EZ development therefore receives paramount attention both from developer and lenders perspective. Such location study generally is not typical project site study by nature, rather it is more economic concentrated. This paper will try to identify the factors that are essential to consider for conducting these location studies based on the examples of Bangladesh. The paper will also identify the appropriate methods and approaches required for successful EZ development through PPP.

There has been an increase in the number of governments that adopted public-private partnership (PPP) as an infrastructure delivery model. However, there are still misgivings about the role PPPs play in developing countries’ economies. The objective of this study is to address the question of whether the PPP model really benefits the public. This study follows a qualitative approach based on international review of literature on PPP experiences around the world. The results of the study indicate that, the PPP model can be a good vehicle for delivering public infrastructure projects in developing countries. However, for PPPs to meet the expectations of the public sector and the citizens there are certain aspects that need to be in place i.e. transparency, accountability, optimum risk allocation/sharing, and increased competition to name just a few. If a country implements its PPP programme properly, there are massive benefits compared to the public procurement approach that may accrue to consumers and the economy as a whole. Such benefits include reduced prices, which may also increase access to services. The study has elucidated valid from invalid arguments about PPPs and has established whether the PPP model is indeed the right vehicle for delivering infrastructure projects.

To control the “uniqueness” risk in Public-Private Partnership (PPP) projects of transportation infrastructure, we design a simplified “uniqueness” contract model by incorporating the impact of the initial investment which is based on the Bertrand model. The nonlinear programming method is adopted to derive the optimal “uniqueness” contracts for incumbent private capital, the public, and the social welfare, respectively. The simulation results show that the achievement of the optimal “uniqueness” contract is essentially the result of a compromise between the private capital, the public, and social welfare. The extent to which such a contract reduces the probability of “uniqueness” risk mainly depends on the equilibrium relation between the interests of private capital and the public. The initial investment is not related to the government default when the contract does not take into account the interests of the private capital. Furthermore, the “uniqueness” contracts between private capital and the government are mainly for anticompetitive purpose in the PPP market of transportation infrastructure. Unless the contract terms focus on the improvement of social welfare, entering a “uniqueness” contract will cause social welfare losses.

Within the study, the use of the public-private partnership mechanism in the management of investment processes in the context of digitalization was argued. The methodological basis of the study was a process approach, which allows to study multidirectional investment actions and the interdependent impact of the investment process, which determines the causal links of the development of investment entities at different levels in the collection of resources, in the conditions of the development of the digital economy. Endogenous sources include financial resources of internal and external origin. Exogenous investment resources include financial resources on loan, as well as budgetary allocations. Varieties of budget allocations include government procurement, concession, life cycle contract. Comparativecreativecharacterization of investment resource attraction models was carried out at the expense of budgetary allocations. In conclusion, they highlight the advantages of attracting investment resources at the expense of budgetary allocations, namely the public-private partnership model as a concession. Finally, it carriesout the comparative characteristic of the conditions of the implementation of investment projects in various models of attraction of investment resources at the expense of budgetary allocations.

The experience of the institutional support of public-private partnership in the Republic of Poland has been analyzed. It is noted that Poland was one of the first among the post-communist countries to implement a mechanism of public-private partnership. The peculiarities of the practice of realization of public-private partnership in Poland during the 1990s and its legal support were determined. The possibility of its development on the basis of general norms of civil, economic, administrative and other branches of law is emphasized. The process of development and adoption of separate laws on public-private partnership and their specific features are described. The essence of discussions about the need for creation of a special authorized body for regulation of public-private partnership, which was caused by the problems that arose from public and private partners during the conclusion and implementation of the relevant agreements, was disclosed. The modern components of organizational support for supporting the development of public-private partnership in Poland, their role and their inherent functions are revealed: the Department for Public-Private Partnerships of the Ministry of Investment and Development, similar departments in public administration bodies of different levels, the Public-Private Partnership Platform, Polish Entrepreneurship Development Agency, Institute of Public Private Partnership, private law firms, scientific and educational institutions. The necessity to improve the institutional support of public-private partnership, which is realized by the government of Poland as well, is stated. The content and significance of the latest program documents in this area that are intended to improve the process of administration the development of public-private partnership — the concept «The vision of sustainable development for Polish business 2050» and «Government policy in the field of development of public-private partnership» are characterized. The importance of using the experience of the Republic of Poland in the practice of public administration of the Ukrainian system of public-private partnership is emphasized.

<p>Clean water is crucial for survival and economic development. Everyday, people need a sufficient amount and a suitable quality of water for drinking, cleaning and sanitation. However, rapid population growth, pollution and climate change have made water a scarce resource, which everyone competed. The United Nations Development Program's recent report stated that more than 1 billion people, up to this day, are without access to safe drinking water and sanitation. Lack of access to clean water can cause social, economic and health problems. Therefore, there is an urgent need to find solutions to this problem. To solve the problem of water scarcity, International Financial Institutions introduced Public Private Partnership (PPP) in the management of water sector. PPP is a concept which involves private sector participation in the management of drinking water service. In PPP, water is recognized as an economic good which is recognised under the 1992 Dublin Principles. It was hoped that by placing an economic value on water, efficient and equitable use of water can be achieved. It was also hoped that it would encourage conservation and protection of water resources. However, studies show opposite results from the Principle. Jakarta drinking water service is one example of a failed PPP. Jakarta, the Capital City of Indonesia, adopted Public Private Partnership (PPP) in the management of its drinking water service in 1998. The twenty five years concession contract was granted to Thames Water International (TWI) and its local partner, Kekarpola Airindo (KATI), now known as Thames PAM Jaya (TPJ). This company is responsible for the management of Eastern Jakarta drinking water service. This research was aimed to evaluate Thames PAM Jaya (TPJ) performance on water provision in Eastern Jakarta, ten years into the twenty five years concession by undergoing a qualitative research method. A range of semi-structured interviews were used to: gain perceptions and opinions of each stakeholder on the Public Private Partnership (PPP), identify the advantages and/or disadvantages of the water privatization in the capital city and to identify the constraints and limitations facing the private sector. Participants involved in this research include Government officials, Thames PAM Jaya, Jakarta Water Supply Regulatory Body (JWSRB), non governmental organizations (NGOs), and TPJ customers. The analysis concludes that Public Private Partnership (PPP) in Eastern Jakarta does not bring improvement to the region's drinking water service. Thames PAM Jaya (TPJ) had failed in fulfilling targets set in the Cooperation Agreement. Lack of transparency and public tendering in the process of forming the public private partnership may have contributed to this poor performance because the proper search for a competent partner was short circuited. Political interference in the bidding process is a form of corruption in which the company granted the contract was clearly complicit. The water tariff in Jakarta is not only the highest in Indonesia, but it is also the highest in the Southeast Asia region. The quality of its service, however, is still of poor quality. Limited access to water due to its high price and low service has resulted in water hacking and the on-going use of groundwater. The Cooperation Agreement, on the other hand, has locked the Government of Indonesia into a long term partnership which is very disadvantageous for the government and the residents. Private sector involvement should be the last alternative to improve the management of the water supply service in Indonesia.</p>
