Abstract

Following the evolvement of the PPP concept in the early 1990s, governments globally have shown strong enthusiasm towards the adoption of this concept in various infrastructure sectors. It is however not clear as to the motivations of these governments towards the adoption of the PPP concept. Many critics suggest that the main reason is due to the lack of funds, but is that the only reason? Further, different jurisdictions/economies have different conditions and political agendas, therefore it is possible that there could be some differences in the motivations of governments adoption of the PPP concept particularly among developing and developed economies. This chapter seeks to explore the above raised concerns and discuss comprehensively on the differences and similarities in reasons/motivation for PPP adoption by governments in developing and developed economies based on empirical data.
