Abstract

This chapter compares implementation of Public-Private Partnership in the context of eight transition countries from Central and Eastern Europe with the experience of Finland that represents the Nordic model. The aim is to assess to what extent has the PPP activity in the selected countries been translated into tangible positive outcomes.

It is observed that the PPP failure rate in most transition countries is relatively higher compared to Finland. Subsequently, the factors that led to a successful implementation on the one hand and policy failure on the other hand are identified and analysed.

Finally, several measures are proposed to improve the quality and sustainability of PPP implementation and decision making in the case countries.
