International Journal of Critical Infrastructure Protection, 2017, vol. 16, issue C, 49-65

Abstract: This paper conducts a comprehensive review of the literature published between 1989 and 2015 on infrastructure and related issues. The articles are classified and presented on the basis of publication source, publication year, country of origin, research methodology and focus area. The review reveals that most of the articles on infrastructure and related issues were published during the period 2010 through 2012. Furthermore, most studies are empirical in nature and the majority of the studies focus on infrastructure financing. Another key finding is that most of the studies deemed public–private partnerships to be the preferred source of infrastructure financing. The review offers a better understanding of infrastructure and related issues, and the position of existing research. The review also highlights the areas that are relatively less explored. Academicians, researchers and policy makers may use these observations as guidelines to conduct further investigations of infrastructure and related issues.
