Abstract: Abstract With the transition from a Soviet-style to a more market economy, many countries have witnessed a wide-ranging and diverse shift from government to governance in their urban politics. This chapter aims to explore the similarities and differences in the institutional changes associated with public-private partnerships (PPPs) as a new form of governance in Leipzig, Shanghai, and Ho Chi Minh City since the Cold War. Firstly, analysis of the various stages in the development of PPPs and governance modes and systems can reveal differences in the institutional changes, both formal and informal, that have taken place in the three cities. Secondly, using the integrated framework developed by DiGaetano and Strom (Comparative urban governance: An integrated approach. Urban Affairs Review, 38(3), 356–395, 2003), which combines the structural, cultural, and rational actor approaches, we can explain such differences in the trajectory of institutional changes as a reflection of states’ reforming capacity in the context of globalization and privatization. Lastly, this research critically discusses the institutional challenges for PPPs in these post-socialist cities within collaborative governance systems and makes recommendations for future policy measures.
