Public Corporate Governance in the Provision State: the Public Law Perspective

One for the money, two for the show: What are the actor‐based incentives for public‐private partnerships for innovation?

“…Entering into a cooperation between the public and the private sector in the form of a PPP can stem from various incentives from both the public and the private perspective. Despite the positive consequences of a cooperation, such as support for the public sector in complex and conflicting public tasks (Lienhard, 2006(Lienhard, , 2018, Switzerland prefers private financing and has, therefore, only established less than 10 successful PPPs. This limited number has led to the question: what incentives lead to the establishment of a PPP and, more specifically, are actors of PPPs for innovation motivated due to financial incentives or can they be policy driven?…”

“…The popularity of PPPs has grown worldwide since the first joint public‐private projects that occurred as part of U.S. urban development and inner city regeneration projects in 1960 and later with the adoption of the Private Finance Initiative (PFI) policy in the United Kingdom in 1997 (Hodge et al, 2017; Torchia et al, 2013). Nowadays, the popularity of PPPs stems from the challenges that governments face to fulfill their obligations due to the growing complexity and often conflicting demands of their public tasks (Lienhard, 2018) and the difficulties they experience investing in new and innovative ideas (Villani et al, 2017).…”

European Social Policy: Financial Pressure, Societal Differences, and Multi‐level Policy‐Making in Comparative Perspective

“…除原创文章外, EPA 还收录了两篇其它类型的投稿文章, 一篇为论坛文章,另一篇是有关“为何你应该读我的作品”的宣传文章。作者 Andreas Lienhard () 在论坛文章中, 将“公共企业治理”这一术语作为对当前组织公共行政模式的描述。此文首先提出论点, 认为国家不再是唯一的公共服务生产者, 而是将这些任务转移给包括私人在内的其他机构, 这导致了一种委托代理关系, 它与研究不断变化的治理形式——例如准市场理论 (Van Berkel, Sager & Ehrler, )——的文章有所联系。以瑞士为例, 作者规范性地探讨了: 良好公共企业治理的关键因素, 以防止分配任务时发生故障; 以及国家在这种新组织形式中发挥的作用。这篇文章对公共行政研究具有一般性意义, 同时还对社会政策研究具有特殊价值, 因为其涉及了社会服务的私人提供者和公共提供者。其中一个例子则是养老金政策, 作者 David Natali () 在其刚出版的新书(关于欧洲养老金组合)中对此有所提及。另一个例子则是健康政策, 作者 Philipp Trein () 就医疗和公共卫生的共同进展进行了探讨(通过将关注点转向预防政策和治疗政策)。作者 Daniel Béland 和 Rianne Mahon () 为高级学者提供了一篇关于社会政策的一般性介绍文, 两位作者同时在本期刊中对其作品进行了宣传。…”

“…Además de los artículos originales, los números de la EPA incluyen otras dos categorías de contribuciones, contribuciones al foro y anuncios de “por qué deberías leer mi libro”. Lienhard () abre este número con una contribución del foro sobre el uso del término “gobierno corporativo público” como una descripción de los modos actuales de organización de la administración pública. Su contribución parte del argumento de que el estado deja de ser el único productor de servicios públicos, pero traslada estas tareas a otras organizaciones, incluidas las privadas, lo que resulta en una relación principal‐agente y se conecta a la literatura sobre formas cambiantes de gobernanza, como cuasi mercados (Van Berkel, Sager y Ehrler ).…”

“…Apart from original articles, EPA issues include two other categories of contributions, forum contributions and “Why You Should Read My Book” advertisements. Andreas Lienhard () opens this issue with a forum contribution on the use of the term “public corporate governance” as a description of current modes of organizing public administration. His contribution starts from the argument that the state ceases to be the only public service producer but shifts these tasks to other organizations, including private ones, which results in a principal–agent–relationship and connects to literature on changing forms of governance, such as quasi‐markets (Van Berkel, Sager & Ehrler, ).…”
