Theories of public-private partnerships

Erik-Hans Klijn

Chapter 2 in A Research Agenda for Public–Private Partnerships and the Governance of Infrastructure, 2022, pp 33-52 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Where do the core assumptions that inform public–private partnerships (PPPs) come from? This question is trickier than it looks. PPP is theoretically a hybrid whose theoretical inspiration derives from various theories. This chapter discusses these different theoretical ideas and identifies three clusters of ideas: PPP as a monitoring game (an economic perspective), PPP as collaboration (a collaborative and network governance perspective), and PPP as sensemaking (a frame and institutional perspective).
