While traditionally the provision of public services was monopolized by the gov-ernment, lately service delivery has been challenged, resulting in more coopera-tions between private enterprises and the public sector. We discuss theoretically and based on empirical evidence the role of trust in these arrangements and under which conditions information can help to overcome a “trust gap”, contributing to the success of these cooperation. Additionally, we develop and test an experimental design that allows us to show which factors influence the public opinion in favor of these service arrangements and public-private cooperations. Therewith our paper does not only contribute to the investigation of information and trust in PA, but provides some implication for policy makers and the public administration.
Grundsätzlich stellen PPPs zunehmend eine Realität auch in Deutschland dar. Während jedoch der politisch Wille zugunsten von PPPs relativ klar erkennbar ist, u.a. in der institutionalisierten Form von „PPP-Units“ sowie programmatischer Vorgaben, fehlt es der öffentlichen Verwaltung nicht nur an Erfahrung mit dem Instrument, sondern insbesondere an Akzeptanz. Der vorliegende Beitrag liefert empirische Evidenz für Vertrauensprobleme in PPPs und diskutiert die verwaltungspraktische Sicht.
Globally, there are challenges and threats that cannot be targeted by a single actor, even if it may be a national state, legitimized and willing to act. Hence, new collaboration regimes were created: international organizations, but also – formal or informal – cooperations with the private sector. Our paper discusses organization forms of these cooperations or ‘global public private partnerships’ (GPPP) theoretically and outlines framework conditions for the use of these global partnerships. Additionally, the health sector will be tackled exemplarily to delineate in how far GPPP are largely depending on the nature of the good provided.
