Overview
What you will study
From toll road projects in Mexico and Pennsylvania to water and electricity systems in New Delhi, decision-makers worldwide are turning to public-private partnerships to address physical infrastructure, transportation, utility services, and more.
What is the key to successfully combining the relative strengths of both the public and private sectors while avoiding the mistakes of the past? And what unique challenges does the partnership approach produce?
The Infrastructure in a Market Economy - Public-Private Partnerships in a Changing World program offered by Harvard University provides the answers. Along with participants from both industrialized and newly industrialized countries, you will learn why some partnerships succeed while others fail. You will examine which partnership models are best suited to different political and economic circumstances. And you will determine when governments can leverage market forces to achieve effective outcomes.
