Public Reaction to Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs): Citizen Assessments of Four Different Types of PPPs and Policy Support

Eoin Reeves (ed), University of Limerick, Ireland

Original study by Ki Eun Kang & Arnold Vedlitz

The overarching aim of this paper is to investigate citizens’ attitudes towards Public- Private Partnerships (PPPs) in the U.S.  More specifically the study seeks to understand if different types of PPPs, the level of trust in government and perceived risks associated with PPPs have a significant impact on public support for related policies.

The rationale for the study is that the research on citizen engagement with PPPs for infrastructure has mainly focused on administrator’s perspectives rather than focusing on citizen’s assessments and preferences.  Excluding public views and inputs in those processes can bring long-term cost implications.  Additionally, different citizen concerns in relation to projects may lead to contract failure.
