“…PPP projects require the public sector and private sector to have long-term cooperation [47]. If the public sector and private sector can proactively exchange information, it is beneficial to their understanding and communication with each other to reduce mutual suspicion [48]. Furthermore, it is beneficial to building and maintaining friendly and trustful relationships between the public sector and private sector [49].…”

“…According to the analysis of the preceding context, when the public and private sectors have good relational norms, PPP projects can be operated smoothly. This is because the public and private sectors can flexibly adjust to changing environmental conditions, can share information to reduce mutual suspicion and conflicts, and can make decisions based on project interests rather than selfinterest [40,48,52,55]. If PPP projects are operated smoothly, it is easy to improve project performance [61,62].…”

“…In contrast, if the public and private sectors do not have good relational norms, it may be difficult to adjust to changing environmental conditions [40]. Moreover, the public and private sectors may be suspicious of each other and make decisions based on self-interest and, thus, have frequent conflicts [48,52,55]. As a consequence, imperfect relational norms between the public and private sectors would result in poor project performance [61,62].…”

Protecting user interests is one of the most important public sector responsibilities in PPP (public-private partnership) projects. However, user interests could be damaged by poor project performance. Therefore, this study focuses on the protection of user interests in PPP projects and analyzes the relationships among relational norms, project performance, and user interests in PPP projects. A questionnaire survey is conducted to collect the opinions of professionals from the public sector and private sector. Upon analyzing 109 valid questionnaires, the results demonstrate that the relational norms between the public sector and private sector have a positive effect on project performance, and project performance has a positive relationship on user interests. Moreover, project performance has a positive mediating effect on the relationships between relational norms and user interests. This finding can provide a theoretical foundation and suggest practical measures to help the public sector better protect user interests in PPP projects.

“…Working out how to make these partnerships function effectively, both in the United States and elsewhere, has been the focus of sustained analysis (Carr, 2016;Givens & Busch, 2013;Harknett & Stever, 2011). Analysis revolves around determining the institutional forms, policy processes, and levels of state intervention through which PPPs can most effectively provide security.…”

Privatizing Political Authority: Cybersecurity, Public-Private Partnerships, and the Reproduction of Liberal Political Order

Cybersecurity sits at the intersection of public security concerns about critical infrastructure protection and private security concerns around the protection of property rights and civil liberties. Public-private partnerships have been embraced as the best way to meet the challenge of cybersecurity, enabling cooperation between private and public sectors to meet shared challenges. While the cybersecurity literature has focused on the practical dilemmas of providing a public good, it has been less effective in reflecting on the role of cybersecurity in the broader constitution of political order. Unpacking three accepted conceptual divisions between public and private, state and market, and the political and economic, it is possible to locate how this set of theoretical assumptions shortcut reflection on these larger issues. While public-private partnerships overstep boundaries between public authority and private right, in doing so they reconstitute these divisions at another level in the organization of political economy of liberal democratic societies.

“…From this point of view it is worth investigating PPPs ability to improve information sharing and collaboration and to raise the level of CIP-R. Increased attention should be placed on growing and nurturing CIP-R PPPs and concrete steps are required to bolster these partnerships in order to realize their great promise (Givens & Busch, 2013). Hence it is relevant to examine the characteristics of PPP themselves and assess different factors that could increase benefits of this kind of approach as a whole.…”

Since the beginning of 2010 there has been a boom of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) with a goal of Critical Infrastructure Protection and Resilience (CIP-R) and Emergency Management (EM) in North America and partly in Europe and Australia as well. Currently having PPPs as one of the main ways to cope with CI interdependencies through engaging all stakeholders in order to build 'full-spectrum' resilience, it is important to look up to the best practices. Previous research has set the theoretical base of PPPs and claimed their high potential for enhancing CIP-R that is vastly unexploited due to challenges in their establishment and management. It is now necessary to move forward to studying partnerships' practical side -common issues they face, ways to overcome them and concrete benefits they are able to bring. Through studying seven cases, this work compares different PPP approaches and their contribution to CIP-R. The study demonstrates how challenges are faced and solved in an innovative way and how the benefits are reached. It also shows approaches and joint activities that support information sharing and trust building as the main ingredients that hold partners together and enable progress in other aspects, from which both public and private parties may benefit. Starting from the findings and a subsequent analysis within and between the seven cases, the study proposes a framework for the development of regional CIP-R. programmes in the context of a PPP.
