Achieving
Public-Private Partnership in the Transport Sector![]()
Website
This is the first volume in a series sponsored
by the Diebold Institute for Public Policy Studies. The book
reviews the history of transport partnerships around the
world and provides detailed case studies of three recent
partnership projects:
Research for the book has been assembled through interviews with financial advisers, bankers, construction companies, investors, government officials, development banks, academicians, and journalists, together with the review of primary project documents and other written materials.
Representing a case of failure, a case of success, and one whose fate has not yet been determined, the cases offer rich comparisons. They have been shaped by differing cultural expectations and economic conditions. They have also benefited from the commitment of creative supporters and been subjected to changing political winds.

This book deals with the legal issues encountered
when negotiating and drafting agreements relating to project
finance, and is designed for general use throughout the world
rather than any particular country. The book is printed in
loose-leaf form and is updated annually. It provides a chapter-by-chapter
analysis and discussion of the different issues involved
in project finance, together with contract forms that represent
a collection of documents used around the world.
Going
Private: The International Experience with Transport Privatization![]()
Website
Going Private examines the diverse privatization
experiences of transportation services and facilities. Cases
are drawn from the United States, Asia, Europe, and Latin
America. Since almost every country has experimented to some
degree with highway and bus privatization, the authors focus
particularly on these services, although they also discuss
urban rail transit and airports. Highways and buses, they
explain, encompass all three of the most common and basic
forms of privatization: The sale of an existing state-owned
enterprise; use of private, rather than public, financing
and management for new infrastructure development; and contracting
out to private vendors public services previously provided
by government employees.
