Emergence of Public-Private Partnership Policies

Abstract

The State has historically played a crucial role in society, often holding a monopoly over the management of public affairs. The diversity of its responsibilities and the complexity involved in managing public services have increasingly necessitated the involvement of other actors, including the private sector. In this context, several countries have adopted Public-Private Partnership (PPP) policies to stimulate economic development. PPPs have been implemented in both developed and developing countries with the aim of enhancing public service management through collaboration between the public and private sectors. The objective of this article is to examine and understand PPPs as a developmental phenomenon through a comparative analysis of the PPP models in Morocco and France. The study's results have significant implications for both academic and managerial contexts.
