ebook Public-private partnership – theory, best practices and the newest polish experience Michał Wolański

"Public-Private Partnership is one of the most controversial solutions within modern public sector management concepts. Its enthusiasts and opponents can have discussions lasting hours, supporting their argumentation by data and examples of successful and failed projects. One is sure - even their enthusiasts confirm, that a PPP project will be a failure, unless the partnership is well prepared and managed. Good knowledge about PPP will help decision-makers to use it in situations where the potential benefits are the highest, as well as select projects that really solve important problems and are demanded. Therefore a good knowledge about PPP principles and case studies is essential in order to create a successful project.

The book aims at providing full theoretical background on PPP, including international case studies, as well as to present the newest Polish experience in PPP. The latter is a unique study on smaller, post-crisis PPP projects, in a new EU-Member state, proving that PPPs can be successful even with limited bank funding available. Polish experience is rarely described in English and may be really useful for international audience."
