Global Diffusion of P3 Policy
No matter how widely they may be defined, new social infrastructure projects can learn much from previous public–private partnership (P3) policies as well as from current global experience. What can be learned, though, and how? This article adopts a theoretical policy learning perspective and investigates what public works researchers and policymakers might get out of focusing on policy learning in more detail. Three perspectives are presented as…
P3s and Social Infrastructure
Once regarded as core public sector business, Australia’s prisons were reformed during the 1990s and Australia now has the highest proportion of prisoners in privately managed prisons in the world. How could this have happened? This article presents a case study of the State of Victoria and explains how public–private partnerships (P3s) were used to create a mixed public–private prison system. Despite the difficulty of determining clear and rigor…
Cheaper, better, and more accountable? Twenty‐five years of prisons privatisation in Victoria
Twenty‐five years after the Kennett government began privatising prisons, Victoria has the world's highest proportion of prisoners in private prisons. When the privatisation project began, it was confidently expected that privately managed prisons would be cheaper, better, and more accountable than traditional public sector provision. This paper examines whether those anticipated benefits have been realised. In doing so, we assess system‐wide ope…

Choose Your Own Adventure
The public sector comparator (PSC) is the key test for determining value for money in public–private partnership (PPP) proposals. Central to the use of the PSC is the discount rate adopted to develop a net present cost for the comparison of privately financed versus traditional delivery options. Several major theories exist informing what the discount rate should be; however, scholarly debate has been inconclusive about which theory is most suita…
After the Ribbon Cutting
Much attention has gone towards ‘up‐front’ processes when delivering infrastructure public–private partnerships (PPPs), but less on how to best govern after the ribbon is cut and the infrastructure built. This paper identifies the primary contractual and institutional governance challenges arising in the medium to long term of PPP concession contracts and explores these governance challenges through interviews with high‐level PPP industry insider…
Public‐Private Partnerships
Infrastructure PPPs are now main‐stream. Both partnership language and its contractual forms have evolved over the past few decades, though. Compared to early optimistic promises, we now have a more nuanced and balanced view of what PPPs are and what they can achieve. Indeed, modern PPPs are tied more to seeking economic growth and political success rather than demonstrating ‘one‐best‐way’ to deliver efficient infrastructure. This article traces …
The Evolution of Administrative Systems in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar
The dramatic plunge in oil prices since the second half of 2014 poses serious challenges for the oil dependent states of Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar, and revives their interest in accelerating the implementation of market-based reforms such as outsourcing, privatization, and public-private partnerships. This article challenges the assumption that these reforms offer a panacea for administrative change, and argues that while they might appear …
On Public–Private Partnership Performance
Private finance-based infrastructure public–private partnerships (P3s) are globally popular, including renewed interest in the United States, but their performance remains contested. This article explores the meaning of P3 and the notion of P3 success, and points to multiple interpretations of both. It proposes a new conceptual model of the P3 phenomenon, including five levels of meaning: project, delivery method, policy, governance tool, and cul…
Comparative Analyses of Infrastructure Public-Private Partnerships
Infrastructure public–private partnerships, also known as PPPs or P3s, continue to be a fascinating aspect of public policy around the globe. It has been more than two decades since John Major’s go
Handbook on the Politics of Regulation

Public‐Private Partnerships
Accepting that there is much confusion in current debates about the use of public‐private partnerships for public infrastructure projects, the article begins by considering the emergence of the ‘PPP phenomenon’ as a ‘governance scheme’ and as a ‘language game’. The existence of several types of so‐called PPPs, and motives for them, is noted, as are criticism of loose assumptions about them in the debates. The argument then focuses on private fina…
Counting on codes
This article examines the rise of nanotechnology‐specific codes of conduct (nano‐codes) as a private governance mechanism to manage potential risks and promote the technology. It examines their effectiveness as well as their legitimacy as regulatory instruments in the public domain. The study first maps the rise of voluntary nano‐codes and the roles played by different actors. Focusing on five specific nano‐codes, the article then discusses their…

Nanotechnology and Public Interest Dialogue
This article examines nanotechnology within the context of the public interest. It notes that though nanotechnology research and development investment totalled US$9.6 billion in 2005, the public presently understands neither the implications nor how it might be best governed. The article maps a range of nanotechnology dialogue activities under way within the United Kingdom, the United States, Germany, and Australia. It explores the various appro…
Are We Really the Prey? Nanotechnology as Science and Science Fiction
Popular culture can play a significant role in shaping the acceptance of evolving technologies, with nanotechnology likely to be a case in point. The most popular fiction work to date in this arena has been Michael Crichton's techno-thriller Prey , which fuses together nanotechnology science with science fiction. Within the context of Prey, this article examines the role that scientists and popular culture play in educating society, and one anoth…
Engaging in Small Talk
This article discusses the phenomena of nanotechnology, and notes that despite high investment levels for global research and development, the public presently understands neither the implications of this emerging technology nor how it might be best governed. It considers the notion of the public interest and its place in the public policy cycle, and notes some of the specific challenges posed by this new technology. Adopting a comparative jurisd…
Public–Private Partnerships
Public–private partnerships are enjoying a global resurgence in popularity, but there is still much confusion around notions of partnership, what can be learned from our history with partnerships, and what is new about the partnership forms that are in vogue today. Looking at one particular family of public–private partnerships, the long‐term infrastructure contract, this article argues that evaluations thus far point to contradictory results reg…
Accountability in the Privatized State
As well as better efficiency and improved services, privatization has also often promised improved accountability. But how does the empirical evidence on this look and what are the lessons here? This article looks at the notion of accountability and the degree to which privatizing public sector activities might improve or worsen such mechanisms. It then looks specifically at the different systems of accountability existing following three privati…

Accountability in the Privatised State
The risky business of public–private partnerships
Public–private partnerships (PPPs) are now a common strand of third way government policy, with better efficiency promised from the private funding of public infrastructure through the transfer of risks to private parties. This paper aims to investigate, on an empirical basis, the realities of risk transfers in PPPs and compare this experience against both the rhetoric of project proponents and the formal contract conditions. The paper outlines s…
Privatisation
Contracting Public Sector Services
The performance framework adopted for this review includes five dimensions — economic, social, democratic, legal and political issues. This article presents summary findings from a statistical (meta‐analytic) review of the performance measurements found in the available international literature on privatisation and contracting‐out government services... This enables an assessment to be made of the extent to which reform objectives appear to have …
