This concise textbook provides a comprehensive framework for understanding and implementing effective public-private partnerships in an era of complex policy challenges and resource constraints. Drawing on research and empirical evidence, it examines how cross-sector collaboration has evolved from traditional contracting relationships to strategic partnerships that create substantial public value.
This book offers a systematic typology of partnership models, analytical tools for partnership evaluation, and practical strategies for collaborative leadership. It integrates theoretical foundations with actionable insights on partnership formation, governance structures, and performance management across diverse policy domains including healthcare, cities, and climate initiatives. Each chapter includes suggested reading and discussion questions.
Designed primarily for graduate and advanced undergraduate students in public administration, public policy, and business management programmes, this volume also serves as an essential resource for public managers and policy practitioners.
Carsten Greve is a Professor of Public Management and Governance, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark.
