Описание: Public-private-partnership (PPP) is a mode of providing public infrastructure and services by the government in partnership with the private sector. It is a long-term arrangement between government and private sector entities for the provision of public utilities and services. In view of the investments made by private sector entities, there are risk-sharing and performance-linked payments made by the government to the private entities. PPP concessions can either be sustained by user charges collected by the concessionaire or through annuity payments made by the government. In case annuity payments are made, they are typically borne by the government out of the annual budgetary allocations spread over time and are essentially in the nature of deferred budgetary payments. This book explains and examines comprehensively the role, design, structure, and execution of PPP projects in the course of economic development of a country. It addresses a range of matters associated with PPPs from policy considerations to implementation issues. The book is spread over 15 chapters which have been organized into 2 parts. Part I (chapters 1 to 7) is devoted to theoretical issues involved in using PPP as a tool of project financing and hence economic development. Part II (chapters 8 to 15) explains and examines the role of PPP in various sectors of the Indian economy such as energy sector, transport sector, telecommunications and information technology (IT), urban infrastructure and services, and healthcare services. An appendix, bibliography and index also form part of the book. The book is meant for a cross-section of readers interested in understanding the design and execution of PPP strategies and projects in the context of development finance.

Описание: Agri-food bio-technology policy and regulation is transitioning from an early period focused on genetic engineering technologies to ‘next-generation’ rules and regulatory processes linked to challenges originating in a wide variety of new technological processes and applications. Can lessons learned from past and current regulatory oversights of agricultural biotechnology – and other high-technology sectors – help us address new and emerging regulatory challenges in the agri-food genetics sector? The expert contributors in this volume discuss the experiences of a wide range of North American, European and Asian countries with high technology regulation to address four key questions related to the past and future development of agri-food genomics regulation across the globe. how unique is agri-food biotechology regulation, and how can it be evaluated using the existing tools of regulatory analysis developed in examinations of other sectors? is a ‘government to governance’ model of regulatory regime development found in many other sectors relevant in this rapidly evolving sphere of activity? is a stages model of regulatory regime development accurate? And, if so, at which stage are we currently positioned in the regulation of agri-food genomics products and technologies? what drives movement between stages in different countries and sectors? In assessing such drivers, what are the key links between sectoral (meso) developments and more general macro and micro developments such as international relations and administrative behaviour? By updating, extending and challenging earlier empirical and theoretical social science perspectives on agricultural bio-technological regulation, this volume helps to inform future policy formulation. It will be of interest to practitioners and students of biotechnology, agriculture, and science and technology policy, and regulatory processes more generally.

Описание: This book provides an opportunity for a national and international perspective on some of the novel issues facing the interaction between patients, the public and the provision of healthcare. It presents an up-to-date 'position statement' on the Citizens Council, explaining why it was established.
Описание: The book is devoted to substantiating the necessity for starting and supporting the high level of marketing activity of modern healthcare organizations that function in the market conditions under the influence of the competition mechanism. The authors substantiate that state-funded healthcare organizations in Russia, which are the basis of the Russian market of medical services, face the deficit of financial resources and do not have sufficient flexibility for high marketing activity and supporting their competitiveness, which leads to growth of dissatisfaction of society with the healthcare sphere on the whole and increase of demand for services of private organizations of healthcare.
The authors show that a perspective solution to this problem is usage of technologies of public-private partnership, which allow conducting deregulation and attracting private investments into development of state organizations of healthcare, thus creating favorable conditions and stimuli for activation of their marketing activities. Recommendations for application of the mechanism of public-private partnership to development of marketing of healthcare organizations in modern Russia are offered.
