E-grāmata: Rise and Fall of Public-Private Partnerships: Finance, Infrastructure and Developing Countries

The impact of climate change puts even more pressure on key policy makers in emerging markets to develop and maintain essential resilient infrastructure. Regardless of the financial mechanisms being contemplated, Leigland lays out compelling and persuasive arguments to thoroughly assess the pros and cons for public-private-partnerships. -- Joel Kolker, formerly of World Bank's Global Water Security and Sanitation Partnership (GWSP), Washington DC, USA James Leigland spent many years at the World Bank, and has more than two decades of experience working on public-private infrastructure design, regulation and management. That deep expertise makes The Rise and Fall of PublicPrivate Partnerships, his damning account of thirty years of donor engagement in infrastructure PPPs, all the more compelling. As the hype over trillions in private finance for climate and development infrastructure reaches a pitch that could deafen pets, the book could not be better timed. Leiglands call for re-evaluation and reform is both vital and urgent. -- Charles Kenny, Senior Fellow Center for Global Development, Washington DC, US
