Public–private partnerships: Perspectives on purposes, publicness, and good governance

Derick W. Brinkerhoff, Jennifer M. Brinkerhoff · 25 Jan 2011

Abstract Public–private partnerships (PPPs) have long been advocated and analyzed as organizational solutions to pressing societal problems that call for the comparative advantages of government, business, and civil society.

Decentralisation and poverty reduction in Africa: the politics of local–central relations

Richard Crook · 1 Feb 2003

Abstract Decentralisation advocates argue that decentralised governments are more responsive to the needs of the poor than central governments and thus are more likely to conceive and implement pro‐poor policies.
