About this book

By merging public and private tangible and intangible capitals, Public Private Partnerships contracts (PPP) are fundamental to generate public value and to support economic and social development; in the aftermath of Covid-19 pandemic, they prove critical to pave the way for the recovery. This book is intended to support the co-evolution of the main public and private players involved in PPP contracts for infrastructure and service delivery, by providing principles, based on the academic and professional experience of the authors, that can be applied across sectors and jurisdictions. Drawing on the framework of public-private collaborations at macro, meso and micro level, this book provides a practical perspective on the most relevant legal, financial and contractual issues of PPP contracts for infrastructure and service delivery.

Reviews

“Without an inclusive State, the private sector cannot develop. Without private investments, the State cannot reach a strong fiscal multiplier. This book provides a comprehensive overview of public-private partnerships as a key solution and a strategic instrument for innovation and growth, applicable to all economic sectors.”

Dario Scannapieco, Vice President, European Investment Bank

“This book comes at a crucial time, as the authors note the situation generated by the COVID-19 pandemic makes more important than ever the need for delivering high quality health services while optimizing public resources. Well-designed PPP contracts have the potential to be the adequate tool to obtain efficiency gains and increase innovation. The combination of excellent academic knowledge and real life practice experience of Professor Vecchi and her team makes this book a must read for those interested on learning and implementing Sustainable PPP Contracts.”

Gastón Astesiano, Public-Private Partnerships Team Leader, Inter-American Development Bank

“No matter the language you speak, these infrastructure challenges remain universal.”

 Damien Dunn, Co-Chair, Infrastructure Working Group, G20
