Panel on Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) in Public Services Policy Challenges in Asia @ HKU-USC-IPPA Conference on Public Policy
Recent developments in the applications of PPPs across Asian countries offer good opportunities to conduct rigorous research to answer these questions with regard to policy challenges of PPPs the provision of public services.
Many critical questions remain unanswered due to limited studies based on rigorous research. For example, what are the impacts of PPPs on the quality of public service delivery? What are the impacts of PPPs on the costs of public service delivery? What are the effects of PPPs on the access of the poor to essential public services? What are the main factors determining the successes and failures of PPP projects? Are there any changes in the performance of PPPs over time?

Knowing Governance
The Epistemic Construction of Political Order
Edited By Jan-Peter Voß and Richard Freeman
Knowing Governance sets out to understand governance through the design and making of its models and instruments. What kinds of knowledge do they require and reproduce? How are new understandings of governance produced in practice, by scientists and policy makers and by the publics with whom they engage? How does politics work through the production of ideas and information that both describe and prescribe how governing is done? This book outlines and explores a new approach to the study of governance at the intersection of governmentality studies, interpretive policy studies and science and technology studies. Each chapter presents an empirically-grounded case study of how particular accounts of governing are worked out, and how new realities of governance emerge in the course of making it knowable. Each introduces and applies a key concept from science and technology studies, setting out a variety of ways of making knowledge about governance and its constituent politics.
