Public-Private Partnerships aims to discover the conditions under
which public private partnerships may provide a viable alternative to
the provision of public services and infrastructures by the state,
while achieving efficient, sustainable, peaceful, and equitable
development in four transition countries: China, Poland, Russia, and
Ukraine. These countries have experienced command economy under
communist rule for at least thirty years. They have only recently
introduced market mechanisms. In spite of a huge literature in favor
of public private partnerships in the west, scientific empirical
evidence is generally mixed and balanced. Success or failure depends
upon many factors that need to be identified and analyzed. Moreover,
economic performance may be achieved at the expense of other criteria
such as equity, public scrutiny, and accountability. This research (a
cooperation between the University of Geneva and the United Nations)
is the first attempt to evaluate public private partnerships based
upon a review of the literature in Europe, documentary analysis, and
in-depth interviews in the four countries with representatives of the
public and private sectors, as well civil society organizations.
