The PPP crisis. Monographic Series

About the work

A monographic series of seven articles published by Jose Cordovilla on LinkedIn between October and November 2019, about the ascent and debacle of public-private partnerships (PPPs) in infrastructure.
PPPs should in theory, bring additional resources, efficiency and long-term value creation into the arduous task of satisfying the growing demand for public infrastructure and services. In practice, however, the expected benefits often do not materialize and the management of model is complex, misunderstood and sometimes badly planned, hardly managed or even failed, as evidenced by the facts and figures about infrastructure PPPs in recent years.

The series of seven articles is to:
- Review the history and fundamentals of PPPs;
- Analyze the main arguments that justify the adoption of traditional PPP models: financing, efficiency and long-term value;
- Review how these arguments actually perform, looking at the dynamics that determine the outcome of PPPs in real life; and
- Share some ideas and reflections about principles of good governance in public-private infrastructure collaboration.
