Abstract

The current paper construes PPPs as an administrative/structural innovation, and analyses the diffusion of this innovation in urban and regional development in the USA. The paper first briefly informs the reader on the widespread use of public-private partnerships. It then reviews the literature on institutional perspectives, and moves on to discuss how a framework derived from institutional theory is both relevant and useful in exploring the reasons behind the diffusion of PPPs in American cities. The paper ends with a brief discussion.
