Scholars of business and government explore the recent history of combining the two fields, not as overt fascism but under the name of public-private partnerships, and suggest how the concept
might be refined to meet future challenges. Their topics include a British perspective on the impact of the global financial crisis on public-private partnerships, accountability and value for
money in public-private partnerships in Ireland, the role of public managers in enhancing innovation in public organizations through public-private partnerships, a Foucault perspective on
public-private partnership mega-projects, and the challenge of evaluating the performance of public-private partnerships. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
