Conceptual Issues in Defining Public Private Partnerships (PPPs)
نویسنده
چکیده
This article aims to explore the conceptual issues associated with defining Public Private Partnerships (PPPs). There are different definitions for PPPs in the literature on the subject. PPPs are viewed from different angles. These include as a way of managing and governing organisations, as an institutional arrangement for financial relationship, as a development strategy, and also as a language game. The review of different definitions indicates that there is no precise agreed definition of PPP. However, there are common features across the different approaches as well as distinctive features. Several gaps have been identified related to issues of governance, management and policy design of PPPs. This article offers some suggestions relating to different conceptual issues which emerge in defining PPPs.
