`This book provides an excellent insight into the operation   and issues affecting PPPs and is highly recommended reading for academics,   students, public sector agencies, private firms and professionals keen to   develop their understanding of this increasingly important method of   infrastructure procurement.'   - Public Infrastructure Bulletin    `The boundaries between the public and private sector are the most   important political issue of our time. This book is an invaluable guide to   the issues in public private partnerships.'    - John Kay, author of  The Truth about Markets     This path-breaking book considers the recent trend for governments to look   increasingly to private sector finance, provided by private enterprises   constructing and managing public infrastructure facilities in partnership   with government bodies.     One outstanding feature of the book is that it brings together an academic   assessment of this phenomenon with practitioner-based experience of   organizing partnerships and advising government bodies in Australia,   Canada, Continental Europe, Hong Kong and the UK. While the volume, as a   whole, draws on this extensive experience of the market, there are also a   number of specific case studies. Developments in the major advanced   countries are covered, along with the potential for public private   partnerships in developing countries and transition economies.    Combining practitioner knowledge and academic perspective and integrating   engineering, economics and finance literature,  Public Private   Partnerships  will be of great interest to economists, engineers,   investment banks and government bodies.
