تکامل مدل های مشارکت بخش دولتی و خصوصی در توسعه جاده عوارضی آمریکا: آموزش بر اساس مدیریت ریسک موسسات دولتی

Over the past few decades public-private partnership (PPP) models adopted by governments for infrastructure development throughout the world have evolved continuously. This article develops a dynamic framework which argues that PPP models evolve when some of the critical success factors (CSFs) for PPP are changed/improved over time based on project sponsors' risk management. The framework consists of four elements: CSFs for PPP, rising risks due to poorly addressed CSFs, the corresponding risk management to change/improve the CSFs, and consequently changed PPP models. Here, CSFs for PPP contain three aspects: external environment, internal project characteristics, and partnership-related factors. The framework is empirically explored with a multiple-case analysis of six toll roads developed in the United States since the late 1980s. The results demonstrate a two-phase evolution of PPP models in the studied context, confirm the theoretical framework, and find that public institutions' risk management can effectively explain the PPP evolution.
