Hardback. Condition: New. This book explores how the private sector has long been expected to mobilize finance into much needed infrastructure investment in developing countries. This insightful book is a detailed exploration of the World Bank's initial promotion of public-private partnerships (PPPs) as a solution, and evaluates their insufficient performance over the past decades.James Leigland expertly delves into the past 30 years of PPP advocacy to argue that blind faith in PPPs has led to a failure to deal with the main obstacles to infrastructure investment in the developing world. Investigating the successes and inadequacies of PPPs over the years, Leigland demonstrates that over-reliance on, and unreserved promotion of, these projects will not close the infrastructure gap in developing countries. Leigland goes on to suggest alternatives to PPPs that would allow for cost-effective financing and management of infrastructure, that would help achieve the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.The Rise and Fall of Public-Private Partnerships is essential reading for practitioners, policy makers and those who are actively funding campaigns to promote PPPs in developing countries. It will also be of substantial interest to organisations and scholars, questioning and exploring the use of PPPs in this under researched area.…

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Expectations are high regarding the potential benefits of public-private partnerships (PPPs) for infrastructure development in low-income countries. The development community, led by the G20, the United Nations, and others, expects these partnerships between goverments and private companies in infrastructure service provision to aid "transformational" mega-projects, as well as efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. Yet PPPs have been widely usedonly since the 1990s, and discussion of their efficacy is still dominated by best-practice guidance, academic studies that focus on developed countries, or ideological criticism. Meanwhile,practitioners have quietly accumulated a large body of empirical evidence on the actual performance of PPPs.The purpose of this book is to summarize and consolidate what this critical mass of evidence-based research indicates about PPPs in low-income countries, and thereby develop a more realistic perspective on the practical value of these mechanisms. With a primary focus on Sub-Saharan Africa, though drawing on critical insights from other regions, it demonstrates thatthe benefits of such partnerships will only be realised if expectations remain modest and projects are subject to transparent evaluation and competition. Public-private partnerships have been widely promoted in the international development community as solutions to severe infrastructure problems in low-income countries since the 1990s. This book summarizes the growing body of evidence on the actual performance of PPPs and develops a more realistic perspective on their practical value. This item is printed on demand.
