Author Description

The book in front of you is written for anyone (scientists, students etc.) who is interested in Public Private Partnerships (PPP) and governance issues like democratic accountability. It contains a literature study which is focussed on transparency as an important aspect of democratic accountability and PPP. Research from around the world is outlined in order to get a broad view on the subject. These studies are suggesting that PPP decreases transparency and is threatening democratic accountability. Therefore an empiric research on transparency in Dutch PPPs was conducted to test this hypothesis. You can find the results of this study inside the book!
