PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP IN UKRAINE: DEVELOPMENT PROSPECTS AND IMPACT ON INFRASTRUCTURE REHABILITATION

In Ukraine, the war has increased the need for urgent infrastructure restoration. Destroyed facilities need to be modernized for the stability of the economy. Public-private partnerships effectively attract investments by mobilizing resources and distributing risks, which increases management efficiency. However, the implementation of public-private partnerships faces challenges, such as an imperfect regulatory framework and corruption, which need to be addressed for further development. The purpose of the study is to explore the possibilities of developing public-private partnerships in Ukraine, taking into account the socio-economic context and the needs of the population. The object of the study is the mechanisms of interaction between the public and private sectors and their impact on the restoration of Ukraine’s infrastructure. The study is based on scientific works, statistical data and regulations. Methods used: morphological, empirical, statistical, analysis and synthesis, structural and logical analysis. Theoretical approaches to the interpretation of the concepts of “public-private partnership” and “public-private partnership” are generalized, and common and distinctive features are outlined. The peculiarities of the legislative and regulatory framework of public-private partnership in Ukraine are determined. The key advantages and disadvantages of the legislative and regulatory framework for public-private partnerships in Ukraine are outlined. The main indicators of economic development of public-private partnerships in Ukraine for 1990-2023 are presented. The main stages of public-private partnership formation in the time period of 2015-2024 are identified and characterized. The study recommends the main factors of impact of public-private partnerships for the restoration of Ukraine’s infrastructure, including attracting private investment, effective project management, risk sharing, innovation, job creation, improving the quality of services, and attracting international partners.

Perceptions of Public and Private Sector Stakeholders on the Benefits and Challenges of Public-Private-Partnerships in Nigeria

Nigeria’s infrastructure deficit has become acute because of the country’s burgeoning population. The Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model, under labels such as Private-Finance Initiative (PFI) and Build Operate-Transfer (BOT), has been touted as the solution to the funding and other challenges confronting the country with regard to infrastructure development. This research sought to examine stakeholder experiences and perceptions on the benefits, abuse and challenges of deploying PPP for infrastructure procurement. The stakeholders investigated were in Lagos and Ogun States of Nigeria, although some of the experiences transcended the two states. Copies of the questionnaire were purposively administered to 115 professionals drawn from the built environment as well as from the legal and financial sectors of the Nigerian economy; the professionals were from the private and public sectors. Eighty-six (86) copies of the questionnaire were returned, with the data subjected to descriptive and inferential statistical analyses. Ranking highest among the list of thirteen identified challenges investigated was ‘political interference outside the agreed rules of running the PPP framework’, while ‘inability to initiate or package PPP projects’ ranked least. The most significant form of abuse or disadvantage was ‘embezzling of public funds and reinvesting in PPP as private sector investor’, while the least significant form of abuse was determination of the concession period. The inferential statistical analyses found no significant difference between both sectors in the assessment factors except in the matter of ‘more careful approach in investing funds in infrastructure’. It is therefore recommended that there should be a continuous audit of stakeholder perceptions on various PPP issues that can form the baseline for impactful improvement and intervention in PPP projects.

Public-Private Partnership Pembangunan Infrastruktur: Dilema Etik dan Praktik

Over the past decade, Public-Private Partnership (PPP) has emerged as an alternative scheme for financing government infrastructure development. This scheme addresses the fiscal limitations that constrain infrastructure development funding. However, implementing PPP contracts and collaborating with the private sector continue to generate controversy, particularly regarding public concerns about privatization and misconceptions surrounding the scheme’s use. This article analyzes the challenges of PPP implementation from philosophical perspectives to understand how the government and private sector can effectively cooperate within the PPP framework. Using Popper’s falsification approach, the article argues that the PPP scheme cannot be universally applied to all projects as widely explained in most feasibility studies and cost-benefit analysis. The stakeholders involved in PPP projects operate within different dimensions of ontology and axiology. Therefore, this article examines the ethical framework necessary for the specific application of PPP schemes, tailored to the unique characteristics and principles of different projects and sectors.

Decision framework for public-private partnership in agricultural commodities

Public-private partnerships are critical to advancing sustainability in the agricultural sector and increasing global food security. Partnerships are a means of increasing productivity and encouraging growth in the agricultural sector. The Partnership encourages private sector participation to reduce risks that occur in the agricultural sector. The aim of this research is to understand how supply chains are configured, to identify drivers of supply chain partnerships and to synthesize partnership strategies. Currently, agricultural areas in East Java are trying to build sustainable partnerships to improve farmers’ abilities in managing the agricultural sector. By using data from surveys and observations of 50 private companies and 50 farmers spread across the research object locations, it was found that there was quite a significant interaction between intensive coordination, partnership quality, quantity and quality of partners. The mechanisms used in partnerships can encourage sustainable agricultural management. It is hoped that the implementation of these findings can encourage partnerships between the private sector and the public sector to achieve significant development. It is hoped that this partnership can play an important role in addressing agricultural problems. Partnerships are formed to create shared values in the form of an institutional framework to address the root of problems.

Marketing of art spaces: essence, characteristics, prospects

The article studies the peculiarities of promoting art spaces as significant social and cultural objects that act as a locomotive for territorial development, attracting tourists and involving the population in cultural activities. Theoretical approaches to the marketing of art objects and art industry have been analyzed. The key functions of art spaces have been studied. It is proved that art spaces marketing has a more complex structure due to the promotion object multifunctionality than art objects marketing. The author’s art space marketing communication model has been proposed. It is based on the art spaces functions for visitors, sponsors, partners, and government agencies. This model allows differentiating targeted marketing communications for each audience, based on the functions and needs of target groups and partners. Unlike art marketing, art spaces marketing implies a complex communication with target audiences, which includes historical social and cultural, territorial, tourist, socialization, and other aspects of art space. The article substantiates the position that art space cannot be only a commercial project, but due to its social and cultural aspects should perform socialization tasks for young people. Hence, there is a need for legal regulation of art spaces in the public-private partnership framework. This requirement introduces its own adjustments in the marketing communications construction.

The Legal Framework for Public-Private Partnerships in Drug R&D.

Public-private partnerships in drug R&D have great potential for driving innovation. They can bridge between excellent fundamental research and development and commercialization of innovative medicines to address unmet needs for the therapy of severe diseases in the interest of public health and human welfare. Therefore, public-private partnerships in drug R&D are promoted and publicly funded by governments and the European Commission. Nonetheless, they need to comply with legal requirements, particularly stemming from State aid law and competition law. Those requirements do not only protect a fair competition, but rather also further open information exchange as well as fair sharing of risks and fair participation in gains and results with the goal of having a successful collaboration and increasing the chance of successful commercialization of pharmaceutical innovations.

Opportunities and Challenges of Public-Private Partnerships in Nepal

Public-private partnerships (PPPs) represent a strategic collaboration between the public and private sectors aimed at achieving shared objectives, particularly in the provision of public infrastructure and services. In Nepal, PPPs have emerged as a significant strategy to address the country's pressing infrastructure and service delivery challenges. This study investigates the implementation and development of PPPs in Nepal, analyzing specific projects and reviewing existing literature to identify both the benefits and challenges associated with these partnerships. The findings reveal that while PPPs have the potential to attract private investment, enhance efficiency, and promote economic growth, they face several obstacles. Key challenges include an underdeveloped legal and regulatory framework, limited government capacity, and issues related to accountability and transparency. The necessity for a clear regulatory framework is paramount, as it would provide the guidelines needed for effective collaboration between public entities and private investors. Moreover, enhancing institutional capacity and establishing robust accountability mechanisms are crucial for strengthening the PPP model in Nepal. By addressing these systemic challenges, Nepal can better leverage PPPs to improve its infrastructure, stimulate economic development, and enhance public service delivery. This study provides insights into optimizing the PPP framework in Nepal, aiming to maximize the benefits of such partnerships while mitigating associated risks.

Reviving Public Service Delivery at the Grassroots through Public-Private Partnership in Nigeria’s Fourth Republic

The paper examines the performance of local governments in Nigeria with special reference to their service delivery responsibilities. Local government is described as a veritable instrument of socio-economic development at the grassroots and it was for this purpose that it became constitutionally recognised as a level of government through the 1976 Local Government Reform. However, the capacity of the Nigerian local governments to carry out responsibilities assigned to them has been jaundiced by the unbridled attack on their finances by higher public authorities, particularly state governments. Specifically, local governments’ share of revenue from the federation account and other sources of revenue have regrettably been annexed by the state governments, thereby reducing local authorities to governments on papers only. Using the secondary sources of data, the article examines how local government service delivery responsibilities can be resuscitated through the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) arrangement. The paper revealed general absence of standard framework for the adoption of PPP to tap into the available huge private investment for public service delivery at the grassroots. The paper recommends active collaboration of the stakeholders in grassroots development toward developing a standard framework for PPP to restore the status of Nigerian local governments as primary providers of public services.

Impact of emotions on the behavioral strategies of PPP project stakeholders: an RDEU evolutionary game analysis

PurposeEmotions, understood as evolving mental states, are pivotal in shaping individuals“' decision-making, especially in ambiguous information evaluation, probability estimation of events, and causality analysis. Public–private partnership (PPP) projects represent a confluence of “economic–environmental–social” dimensions, wherein stakeholder behavior follows the sequential progression of “cognition–emotion–action.” Consequently, comprehending the effects of emotional shifts on stakeholder's decision-making processes is vital to fostering the sustainability of PPP projects.Design/methodology/approachThe paper utilizes rank-dependent expected utility and evolutionary game theory to systematically examine the influence of emotional factors on stakeholders' behavior and decision-making processes within PPP projects. The paper integrates three emotional state functions—optimism, pessimism and rationality—into the PPP framework, highlighting the intricate interactions among the government, private sector, surrounding public and the media. Furthermore, the paper amalgamates the evolutionary pathways of environmental rights incidents with the media's role. Through equilibrium analysis and numerical simulation, the paper delves into the diverse interplay of emotions across different phases of the environmental rights incident, assessing the impact of these emotions on the evolutionary game's equilibrium results.FindingsEmotions significantly influence the microlevel decisions of PPP stakeholders, adapting continually based on event dynamics and media influences. When the private sector demonstrates optimism and the surrounding public leans toward rationality or pessimism, the likelihood of the private sector engaging in speculative behavior escalates, while the surrounding public refrains from adopting a supervisory strategy. Conversely, when the private sector is pessimistic and the public is optimistic, the system fails to evolve a stable strategy. However, when government regulation intensifies, the private sector opts for a nonspeculative strategy, and the surrounding public adopts a supervisory strategy. Under these conditions, the system attains a relatively optimal state of equilibrium.Originality/valueThe paper develops a game model to examine the evolutionary dynamics between the surrounding public and private sectors concerning environmental rights protection in waste incineration PPP projects. It illuminates the nature of the conflicting interests among project participants, delves into the impact of emotional factors on their decision-making processes and offers crucial perspectives for the governance of such partnerships. Furthermore, this paper provides substantive recommendations for emotional oversight to enhance governance efficacy.

Contract law of Albania in the context of public-private partnerships

The significance of the research is underscored by the fact that Albania, as a country in the process of socio- economic development, faces the need to attract specialists for the implementation of infrastructure projects. The research seeks to explore challenges within the realm of public-private partnerships concerning contract law in Albania and to propose constructive avenues for enhancement. The methods employed in this endeavor encompassed systematisation, logical analysis, concretisation, and generalisation, along with the application of formal-legal and formal-logical approaches. The investigation analysed modern mechanisms of legal regulation in the system of public-private partnerships. Problems, including compliance with free market principles, ensuring competition and high quality of public services, have been identified. Specific steps are proposed to address them: strengthening internal control in contract awarding procedures, updating legislation with a focus on maintaining market freedom and competition, assessing, and sharing risks between the private and public sectors, and actively engaging stakeholders. The recommendations aim at organic implementation, considering the interests of all stakeholders. In addition, it is suggested that changes in the justice system should stably take place, considering the stability of the overall system. The study also delved into analysing the existing views and concepts of scholars on the subject matter. Examining various perspectives has facilitated a more profound comprehension of the intricacies surrounding the phenomenon and potential avenues for enhancing contract law in Albania within the framework of public-private partnerships. The outcomes of this research possess the potential to provide valuable insights for the formulation of effective legal measures governing contract law in the context of public-private partnerships in Albania

Monetary Incentives of Tax Whistleblower Programs: On Their Design and Implementation

The instant contribution discusses the monetary incentives established in tax whistleblower programs. The latter have been already designed and implemented in some developed OECD countries. Tax policy makers in Bulgaria are also considering mandatory awards for whistleblowers from proceeds collected from evaded taxes and/or social security contributions. However, the monetary incentives built-in to a possible tax whistleblower program have sparked controversy in Bulgaria, a country with past experience in whistleblowing due mainly to political and/or ideological reasons. Nevertheless, tax evasion is widespread in this country with a tax gap of BGN 2,0 -2,2 billion. Therefore, in order to improve tax compliance and collection, a tax whistleblowing program in Bulgaria should be considered and designed with regard to the public-private partnership framework. It has been also suggested in this paper that the awards paid by the tax authority to the whistleblowers in Bulgaria should be exempt from personal income taxation. The whistleblower program in this country may become a productive, although non-conventional tool for tax policy, given that its monetary incentives are aligned with the recommendations of the international good practice.

Public-private partnership as a tool to foster business innovation activities in the digital technologies field

The unprecedented sanctions imposed against Russia included restrictions on the supply of high-tech products and services have updated issues of ensuring the technological independence of Russia in the digital technologies field by increasing private sector involvement in innovation processes and relying on our own developments. Cooperation between the public and private sectors within the framework of public-private partnership (PPP) can become an effective tool for achieving this goal. The article analyses United States experience in use of PPPs in the digital technologies field as well as Russian practice of using this mechanism to foster business innovation activities. Analyzing specific PPP mechanisms (models), the author identifies their key features, which determine the possibilities of their application in the development and implementation of government-business cooperation projects in the digital technologies field. It is concluded that, unlike the United States, the leading country in digital development, PPP models are not used enough in Russia, which is explained, among other things, by the presence of administrative and legal barriers as well as problems with goal-setting.

Государство и иерархии: особенности взаимодействия в форме ГЧП

The participation of the state as an economic agent in the institutional structures that ensure the exchange of assets determines the specific features of their organization in the form of a public-private partnership (PPP). Within the framework of PPP, alternative forms of cooperation between the state and private business regard-ing the production of public goods are integrated: quasi-market organization, hierarchical and hybrid. The arti-cle is devoted to the analysis of the forms of organization of transactions based on PPP as an institutionaliza-tion of the possibilities of reducing transaction costs based on the exchange of property rights. The methodo-logical basis of the study was the main provisions and developments in the field of institutional economic theo-ry, the theory of property rights and the theory of public goods. The methods of work included a positive and normative analysis of the transactions of the hierarchical organization of private business and the state regard-ing the production of public goods. The analysis showed that the variety of PPP forms that implement this part-nership can be viewed as a function of changes in relative differences in the levels and structure of transaction costs. The results of the study contribute to the understanding of the specificity of the state’s position as an agency for the specification and protection of property rights within PPPs organized in the form of hierarchies.
