Public–private partnerships: a multidimensional model for contracting

International Journal of Public Policy, 2005, vol. 1, issue 1/2, 22-40

Abstract: This paper considers the relationships between public and private organisations entering into public–private partnerships within the context of NPM. After offering a brief discussion of similarities and differences between public and private organisations and their relationships, it provides a short overview of how PPPs are organised in practice. Through elaborating on three dimensions of differentiation between public and private organisations – ownership, funding and control – it proposes a matrix model for identifying suitable 'dimensional mix' for PPP contracts.
