Ireland is a latecomer to public–private partnerships, having only adopted them in 1998. Prior to the credit crisis, Ireland followed the UK model, with public–private partnerships being implemented in transport, education, housing/urban regeneration and water/wastewater. Having stalled during the credit crisis, public–private partnerships have recently been reactivated with the domestic infrastructure stimulus programme. The focus of this article is on Ireland as a younger participant in public–private partnerships and the nexus between adoption patterns and the sustainability characteristics of Irish public–private partnerships. Using document analysis and exploratory interviews, the article examines the reasons for Ireland's interest in public–private partnerships, which cannot be attributed to economic rationales alone. We consider three explanations: voluntary adoption – where the UK model was closely followed as part of a domestic modernisation agenda; coercive adoption – where public–private partnership policy was forced upon public sector organisations; and institutional isomorphism – where institutional creation and change around public–private partnerships were promoted to help public sector organisations gain institutional legitimacy. We find evidence of all three patterns, with coercive adoption becoming more relevant in recent years, which is likely to adversely affect sustainability unless incentives for voluntary adoption are strengthened and institutional capacity building is boosted. Points for practitioners There are many reasons why public sector organisations procure via public–private partnerships, and motivations can change over time. In Ireland, public–private partnership adoption changed from being largely voluntary to increasingly coercive. Irrespective of motives, public–private partnership procurement must be underpinned by incentives and institutional enabling mechanisms, which should be strengthened to make Ireland's public–private partnership strategy sustainable.

Original Case

Public private partnerships have been gaining the interest of emergency management and security-related federal organizations. In 2010, the National Academies Press published a framework for resilience-focused private-public sector collaboration which may be the catalyst for how resilience-oriented public private partnerships are developed in the future (National Academies Press. 2010). Public private partnerships can be utilized to increase citizen awareness and preparedness, to address a specific need in a community, or to accomplish any other function that brings a community and government together. “Utilized correctly, a public private partnership is a win-win situation for all participants” (Hahn, 2010, p. 274). Although perceived as very successful, no prior systems analysis has been conducted on these partnerships. In this chapter, a successful public private partnership is evaluated using systems analysis techniques. Results of that analysis, along with details of the original case study and the public private partnership itself are presented.

The article outlines the issues of social infrastructure development in Ukraine. The need of addressing these issues through implementing public-private partnership projects is justified. Some priority areas for introducing public-private partnership in Ukraine are identified. The best foreign practices of attracting private sector to solving problems of social infrastructure development are considered. It is revealed that priority areas where public-private partnerships operate are dependent on the level of socio-economic development of the country. Some practices of public-private partnership projects in education in the UK, Australia, Germany, and Egypt are analyzed in detail and their common characteristics are systematized. Based on the analysis of best foreign practices applied in implementing public-private partnership projects in healthcare, the following key measures are formulated: direct provision of medical services, management of medical assets, development and production of pharmaceuticals, improvement of access to medical services and products. The performance of public-private partnership projects in the healthcare sector in the UK, France, Australia and Sweden is analyzed in detail. The paper describes both more and less successful examples of publicprivate partnership in this sector. The article defines the following reasons for low-level implementation of public-private partnership projects in healthcare: schedule delays in construction, operation-cost overruns, poor hospital and ward layout, use of low-cost medical equipment which requires regular renewal. The research also considers the best foreign practices of introducing public-private partnership projects in the field of culture. Some characteristic features of public-private partnership projects in social services in foreign countries are identified. The national practices of introducing public-private partnership projects are highlighted and priority areas of their operation are singled out. It is found out that the implementation of public-private partnership projects in social services is not popular among domestic investors. Some individual projects of public-private partnership in social services are considered. A particular attention is paid to both more and less successful ones. The main problems of the implementation of public-private partnership projects in the national education, healthcare, culture are outlined and ways for their solution are proposed.

Factors Influencing

The objective of the article is to clarify the nature and benefits of public-private partnership and analysis of factors influencing its organization and dissemination in innovation. The usefulness of introducing public-private partnership in the innovation sphere is due to the possibility of combining state regulation of innovation development with the potential of private business, which should be considered as a carrier of managerial, human, and financial capital. Society is interested in the organization of public-private partnership in innovation because the result of achieving its strategic goal would solve several socially important problems, which include employment growth, increasing real incomes, spreading innovation, and accelerating socioeconomic progress. Methodology. During the analysis, public-private partnership was considered as a complex open system with the use of systematic analysis methodology in the study, which allowed to emphasize certain aspects of the specific nature of its operation. Results. Public-private partnership in innovation is a form of relationship that arises between the public sector and private business on a medium- or long-term basis and involves the creation of innovation infrastructure, production, and distribution of innovation products on mutually beneficial terms, which is achieved by providing a specific form financing, the common interests of the participants and the distribution of possible risks between them. The organization of public-private partnership, especially in the field of innovation, is influenced by a significant number of factors among which it is useful to outline institutional, legislative, economic, internal, and external, direct, and indirect. The institutional factor determines the nature of institutional policy that affects public-private partnerships. Legislative factors provide for legal regulation of the establishment and further operation of public-private partnership in the field of innovation. The economic factors influencing the organization of public-private partnership include credit, tax (tax holidays, reduction of income tax rates, tax credit), investment and depreciation (reduction of depreciation, increase of depreciation rates) policy. Practical implications. As a result of the analysis, several benefits that both the public sector and private business receive from the spread of public-private partnerships in innovation are outlined. The reflection of institutional, legislative, economic, and other factors of the organization of public-private partnership will allow to consider their influence for the intensification of innovative activity as a basis for increasing the competitiveness of the national economy. Value/originality. The use of systematic analysis allowed to outline the main factors that contribute or conversely the spread of public-private partnership in innovation in Ukraine. Considering their action will minimize the negative manifestations and make full use of the positive aspects, which will be an important factor in enhancing innovative growth on the basis of public-private partnership. Economic and other factors of public-private partnership will allow to take into account their impact to enhance innovation as a basis for increasing the competitiveness of the national economy.

Chapter 20 discusses public–private partnerships (PPPs) between government and major corporations. Generally, in PPPs the government sets the task and agrees the fee, while the private sector does the work and incurs the costs whilst receiving a contractually agreed profit. The project is normally building a major infrastructure facility. This arrangement has been very popular in the UK until recently, as well as in many other countries. In the USA a strong lobby is advocating the increased use of PPPs to update the country’s infrastructure. The chapter notes that the idea of public–private partnership is a good one in principle, but that scandals of excess profits (and sometimes losses) can result from deficiencies in negotiation and implementation. The chapter also considers success criteria for PPPs and concludes that they vary according to the political situation and hence motivation in the country in question.

The aim of this paper is to analyse the risk transfer issue in Public Private Partnership/Private Finance Initiative (PPP/PFI) procurement documents in the United Kingdom (UK) and Malaysia. It utilises qualitative research methods using documentation and interviews for data collection. The UK documents (guidelines and contracts) identify the risks related to this form of public procurement of services and makeexplicittheappropriateallocation of those risks between the public and the private sector PPP/PFI partners and so the types of risks each party should bear. However, in Malaysia, such allocation of risks was not mentioned in PPP/PFI guidelines. Hence, a question arises regarding whether risk transfer exists in Malaysian PPP/PFI projects, whether in contracts or by other means. This research question is the rationale for the comparative analysis ofdocumentsand practicesrelatingtorisk transfer in the PPP/PFI procurements in both countries. The results clarify risk-related issues that arise in implementing PPP/PFI procurement in Malaysia, in particular how risk is conceptualised, recognised and allocated (whether explicitly or implicitly), whether or not that allocation is intended to achieve optimum risk transfer, and so the implications forachievement ofvalue for moneyor other such objectivesinPPP/PFI.

Each country strives for growing economic development, but no country is able to implement it. Various experiences and projects from the countries of the European Union and other neighboring countries are taken and considered. Towards the end of the 20th century and at the beginning of the 21st century, economic movements are increasingly relying on public-private partnerships, which can lead to a rapid development process through the financing of infrastructure projects. Economic globalization, as well as the emergence of new opportunities for economic activity in the world, are aimed at cooperation of the authorities and businesses in the realization of the socio-economic policies. The implementation and realization of development projects through public-private partnerships is impossible without participation by the relevant institutions of the public and private sector. Above all, direct participation implies expertise, experience and education. Every project that will be realized through various forms of public-private partnership must fulfill certain conditions. Among the conditions for proper implementation of the project are: dialogue, transparency and monitoring. The main feature of PPP is the transfer of the risk to the financing, efficiency and quality of public services, which are usually the burden of the private partner. This paper analyzes and explores the essence of public-private partnership. The conceptual framework for public-private partnership, as well as its strengths and weaknesses, is set. With the application of PPP, the economic development of the infrastructure as a whole, and in particular the development of local infrastructure, is analyzed. The origin of PPPs, its characteristics, as well as the need and importance for their continuous implementation are explained. The application of PPP is considered through the experiences in certain countries of the European Union and the Republic of Macedonia. Then, the responses to previously hypothesized hypotheses are collected: what is the successful implementation of PPP, what is needed for PPPs and why. In the end, the data from the conducted research are collected, analyzed and determined the profile of certain activities, as well as the possible decisions for further strategies for the implementation of the PPPs.

Legal Concepts

The increasing use of public–private partnerships (PPP) as a means of delivering public services or constructing public infrastructures draws growing interest in the legal community. The ambiguity and lack of consensus surrounding the content of PPP as a concept, leads the researcher to refer to various disciplinary sources. Widely encouraged in law, transdisciplinarity often suffers methodological insufficiencies when comes the time to define transdisciplinary concepts. The authors revisit the interpretation methods developed by the courts, and propose a complementary conceptual analysis framework. The developed framework is then applied to the emerging concept of public–private partnership, as it is used and defined in various disciplines. The paper demonstrates the feasibility and desirability to provide a transdisciplinary perspective to legal concepts.

In the initial stages of the adoption and institutionalization of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs), national governments of transitional economies have accepted, developed, and organized Public-Private Partnerships with varying degrees of success. This study aims to investigate the critical success factors (CSFs) influencing the establishment of a sustainable Public-Private Partnership in transition conditions. In the first part of the paper, based on an extensive review of the literature, previous studies and relevant results in this field are presented as a background for this research. In the second part of this article, the survey used a factor analysis, which, with the application of the Principal Component Analysis and Varimax method with Kaiser normalization, has extracted four CSFs: (1) the establishment of a central PPP unit—knowledge center; (2) the establishment of a compatible legal/regulatory framework; (3) development of national PPP policies and strategies; and (4) standardization and transparency of the process. In the concluding remarks, the authors address the perspectives and methodological research constraints, examining possibilities to develop new knowledge and more efficient Public-Private Partnership implementation in the developing PPP markets of transitional economies.
