Abstract

Nowadays, public-private partnerships (PPPs) have resulted into a world-wide instrument for governments facing insufficient resources for growing public investment needs. Despite the general interest surrounding the cooperation between public bodies and private companies, the tendency of developing a common language for public-private agreements and the focus on identifying and sharing good practices at global level, PPPs lack a clear theoretical identity. The papers aims to offer a theoretical approach to public-private partnerships, pointing out various academics`, international organizations`, national and EU institutions` views related to PPPs. Thus, it becomes obvious that PPP is a flexible notion (umbrella-notion), due to both convergent and divergent trends.
