International Development Cooperation

In the 21st century, the traditional model of official development assistance (ODA) promoted by developed countries is faced with many challenges. One of them is the emergence of the “public-private partnership (PPP)” model for international development cooperation (IDC), which has become increasingly popular among developed countries and international organizations over the past decade. This article explores the origin, meaning, and mechanism of the PPP model, and discusses the major obstacles it encounters in practice. The article also compares PPP with China’s “development package” model, and puts forward some policy recommendations on China’s participation in IDC. Although China is a pioneer in carrying out public-private cooperation in international development, it needs to fully reflect on its experience, so as to formulate clearer guiding principles and management rules on public-private cooperation. It is also imperative for the country to set up relevant institutions and mechanisms to promote PPP practices.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to explore the motivations of governments for adopting unsolicited proposals for public–private partnership (PPP) project implementation. Design/methodology/approach A comprehensive review of literature was conducted to derive a list of motivations for adopting unsolicited PPPs. Subsequently, an empirical questionnaire survey was conducted with international PPP experts. Inter-rater agreement analysis, mean significance index and independent two-sample t-test were used for data analysis. Findings Results reveal four very critical motivations for governments’ interest in unsolicited PPPs; these include: “enhanced private sector innovation and creativity in PPPs”; “lack of public sector capacity to identify, prioritise and procure projects”; “lack of private investors’/developers’ interest in projects at remote areas”; and “rapid implementation of PPP projects”. Further analysis shows that developing and developed countries view the significance of three motivations differently. Research limitations/implications The major limitation lies in the fact that this study only focused on the general motivations/rationale for using unsolicited PPP proposals and did not thoroughly examine and consider the inherent property of motivations (i.e. push and pull theories). Therefore, future studies should explore the “pull and push” motivations for adopting unsolicited PPPs within a specific country or region. Originality/value The research outputs inform international private developers of the key expectations of governments/public departments when submitting unsolicited PPP proposals for consideration by the public sector. Furthermore, the outputs will enable governments/public departments and private proponents to derive performance objectives and standards for unsolicited PPP projects.

How does international development cooperation (IDC) unfold in the domestic arena? More specifically, how priorities and dimensions addressed in cooperation agreements enter the domestic public policy agenda? This article seeks to present elements that respond to such questions, through qualitative analysis based on bibliography review and documental analysis of bilateral agreements on energy efficiency signed by Brazil with the developed countries, Brazilian national energy policies legislation implemented since the first oil crisis in the 1970s and the Brazilian National Plan on Climate Change. The goal is to identify the actors and the mechanisms by which those programs, which were originally structured in developed countries, spread to Brazilian energy policy and characterize the instruments, in this case, cooperation agreements between the parties. We investigate the stakeholders involved in the negotiations, the issues privileged, the sectors and topics covered as well as the financial sources of the projects negotiated. As a result, we highlight that IDC conditioned the content of energy efficiency programs (EEPs) adopted, signaling that Brazilian Foreign Policy (BFP) has a relevant role to play in energy politics in Brazil.

International Development Cooperation

Trends in international development cooperation point to the increasing networking of initiatives and programmes, facilitated by information and communications technology (ICT). This allows many more people and organizations from around the world to contribute to a given project, as with the case of online volunteers. There are various types of networks active in development cooperation, but network management needs to be incorporated by involved organizations in order to extract the expected benefits from their involvement. Network analysis practices will help determine if they are set up and managed ppropriately.

International Development Cooperation

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as Global Goals, were adopted by the United Nations (UN) in 2015 with a universal call for action to achieve a better and global sustainable future by 2030. Public-private partnerships (PPPs) have been recognized as an innovative mechanism for achieving UN SDGs because they help the public sector provide basic goods and services by enabling the use of the experience and funds of the private sector. This study examines the PPP network by visualizing the relationship among stakeholders through social network analysis. Considering the case of the Partnership for Green Growth and Global Goals 2030 (P4G), this study investigates the actors and the relationship between the actors by stage and year. As a result, the study visualized the network of PPPs in P4G, thereby revealing that the partnerships were evolving since the participants’ relationships became stronger each year. Moreover, the role of each actor became clearer at each stage. The findings provide practical guidance for practitioners interested in promoting international development cooperation through PPPs in the future.

Public private partnership is in central of good governance with emphasis on efficiency, inclusion and partnership. The main point is that the partnership does not mean competition, but cooperation between different organizations. It means a formal link between public and private sectors and involves cooperation in planning, financing and implementation of joint projects to achieve common goals. The state assists in its mission from many actors, and above all from the private sector. This article aims to explore the concept of Public Private Partnership as an approach that provides mutual benefits to both public and private sectors. Albania has great potential to develop successful forms of Public Private Partnerships and the public interest is quite high, however, it is important to learn from own successful and not successful experiences of the past, as well as from the experience of the others. This study focused in experience of Municipality of Korca, main region in southeast of Albania.

Sport Industry

Over the past decades, the sport industry has changed and transformed. The growing sophistication in terms of infrastructure and scientific and technical support needs, the increased visibility of competitive sports and the emergence of sport as a lucrative sector have given credence to the public-private partnership initiative. Thus, various agreements concluded between public institutions and private companies have been put in place during the last decade in Morocco to promote the development of new projects, including sports facilities. Several forms of partnership have been adopted. In this context, the public-private partnership is presented as a hybrid organizational agreement between the public sector and private initiatives in the launch of the Hassan II Park, a project with a triple sporting-societal-tourism vocation launched by King Mohamed 6 in 2014 and inaugurated in November 2018.
