Previous issue date: 2007 / Resumo: O presente estudo analisa novos usos do território brasileiro que condicionam e são condicionados por um planejamento territorial refuncionalizado a partir dos anos 1990. Com a vigorosa transformação do território ao longo do período em questão, a adoção de um quadro normativo em consonância com a globalização intensificou o processo de desigual apropriação do território. Com o objetivo de ampliar os espaços fiéis aos desígnios da dinâmica globalizadora, o Estado brasileiro recorre a um planejamento territorial carregado de ciência e informação. Questionando a validade dos Planos Plurianuais na integração dos planejamentos setoriais, buscamos entender suas formulações e principais agentes envolvidos, destacando os estudos de grande envergadura produzidos por um conjunto de grandes empresas de consultoria, agentes de poder inequívoco na condução de novas análises territoriais no Brasil e no mundo. Investigando os casos de algumas consultorias, procuramos analisar suas relações com as Parceiras Público-Privadas, instrumentos privilegiados dentro do planejamento territorial no Brasil atual, mas que podem se tornar ¿novos cavalos de Tróia¿ na formação socioespacial brasileira. Entendidas como uma solução viável para a retomada de investimentos de grande vulto no território, as PPPs ganham evidência dentro de um contexto mundial de neo-regulação, como procuramos demonstrar através da nova lex mercatoria / Abstract: The present study analyzes the new uses of Brazilian territory that condition and are conditional for a re-functionalized territorial planning started in the 90's. With the vigorous transformations of the territory throughout the period in question, the adoption of a normative picture associated with the globalization has intensified the process of an unequal appropriation of the territory. With the objective to extend the faithful spaces to the care of the globalization dynamics, the Brazilian State appeals to a territorial planning loaded with science and information. By questioning the validity of the Pluriannual Plans (PAP) in the integration of the sector planning, we intend to understand its formularizations and main agents involved, specially the studies of great spread produced by a set of great consultancy companies, agents of unequivocal power in the conduction of new territorial analyses in Brazil and the world. Through the investigation of these cases of some consultancy companies, we intend to analyze its relations with the Public-Private Partners, privileged instruments inside the territorial planning in Brazil nowadays, but that can become ¿new horses of Troy¿ in the Brazilian socialspatial formation. So understood as a viable solution to retake the investments of great countenance in the territory, the PAPs gains evidence inside a world-wide context of neo-regulation, as we tried to demonstrate through the new lex mercatoria / Mestrado / Análise Ambiental e Dinâmica Territorial / Mestre em Geografia

Previous issue date: 2014 / Resumo: Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar a implementação de duas parcerias público-privado entre a Secretaria de Estado de Educação de Mato Grosso e as seguintes entidades: Fundação CESGRANRIO, no ano de 2006, e o Instituto Ayrton Senna, entre 2007 e 2008. Dentre os referenciais teóricos selecionados para análise, destacam-se autores que tratam da reconfiguração do papel do Estado a partir da década de 1990, da diminuição de sua atuação no campo educacional, de organizações do Terceiro Setor em substituição ao papel do Estado e de parcerias público-privado na área educacional. Além disso, utilizamos os conceitos de neoliberalismo e de Terceira Via, qualidade social e suas relações com a Avaliação em Larga Escala e o IDEB. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de cunho qualitativo, cujos instrumentos de coleta de dados constaram de entrevistas individuais, grupos focais e análise dos dados do SAEB/Prova Brasil e IDEB, utilizando-se para análise e organização dos dados, a partir da triangulação de métodos de coleta, a análise de conteúdo. Este estudo teve como campo de investigação os municípios de Cáceres/MT e Cuiabá/MT e compõe-se de três diferentes instâncias da rede: a) a Secretaria de Estado de Educação - SEDUC; b) os CEFAPROs dos polos de Cáceres e Cuiabá; c) as escolas da rede nos dois municípios sede que estiveram envolvidas nas parcerias. Os resultados apontam as contradições que envolvem a relação público-privado na implementação de políticas públicas, sinalizando para seu aspecto dinâmico e intricado; a falta de transparência na contratação das parcerias; a forte precarização e intensificação do trabalho docente, em especial na parceria com o IAS. Por fim, a análise dos dados da Avaliação Nacional mostrou que não podemos afirmar com convicção que as parcerias por si só elevaram a proficiência e os índices do IDEB / Abstract: This study aims at analyzing the implementation of two public-private partnerships between the Department of Education of the State of Mato Grosso and the following agencies: CESGRANRIO Foundation in 2006 and Ayrton Senna Institute (IAS) in 2007 and 2008. As theoretical references selected to support the analysis, the study has relied on authors that have addressed the reconfiguration of the role of the State from the 1990s, its decreased action in the educational field, the replacement of the State with Third Sector organizations, and public-private partnerships in the educational area. In addition, we have used the concepts of neoliberalism, Third Way, social quality and their relations with the Large-Scale Evaluation and IDEB. This is a qualitative research whose instruments for data collection included individual interviews, focus groups and analysis of data from SAEB/Prova Brasil and IDEB, with the use of content analysis for data analysis and organization with a triangulation of collection methods. The study was carried out in the cities of Caceres/MT and Cuiaba/MT and involved three different network points: a) the State Department of Education - SEDUC; b) CEFAPROS of Caceres and Cuiaba; c) the schools engaged in partnerships in both cities. The results have pointed out contradictions in the public-private relationship along the implementation of public policies, thus signaling their dynamic and intricate features; the lack of transparency in partnership agreements; the strong precarization and intensification of teacher work, particularly in the partnerships with IAS. Finally, the analysis of data from the National Evaluation has shown that it is not possible to firmly state that partnerships alone have increased proficiency and IDEB indexes / Doutorado / Ensino e Práticas Culturais / Doutora em Educação

Transferability of policies and organisational practices across public and private health service delivery systems : a case study of selected hospitals in the Eastern Cape : exploring lessons, ambiguities and contradictionsMpofana, Mziwonke Milton January 2016 (has links)
Philosophiae Doctor - PhD / Since the advent of South Africa's democracy in 1994 there have been several changes in the policy and legislative arena specifically promoting public-private-partnerships in the health sector. These initiatives have given rise to opportunities for inter-sectoral policy transfer under the rubric of ―best practices‖. This exploratory study examines the character, obstacles and contested nature of a selection of policy transfers between private and public health institutions in a single province of South Africa. The study looks at the dynamics at play around envisaged, current and past transfers of policies and organisational practices in relation to administrative systems and technologies used in four different hospital settings – two public and two private hospitals in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. This thesis explores the views of managers and labour organisations about policy transfer focusing on local contexts, and how various parties construct policy transfer, hence providing a perspective of policy at the ―plant‖ level. In this research, special focus is placed on different agents' role and understandings of their contexts and how and why policies move and contradictions of these developments. In-depth interviews were conducted at four major Eastern Cape hospitals. The thesis argues that in practice, policy transfer is messy, politicized and traversed by power and vested interests and that organised labour plays a key role in policy transfer process. The thesis focuses on the different philosophical/ideological underpinnings, socio-political values and operational environments in each sector. This study is designed to contribute to existing knowledge on practices particularly between the public and private sectors in order to widen the understanding of the complexity of transferability.

Beyond an instrumental approach to religion and development : Challenges for church-based healthcare in TanzaniaSundqvist, Josephine January 2017 (has links)
This dissertation serves as a contribution to the larger ongoing debate on the role of religion in development in an effort to move beyond an instrumental approach. The aim is to study the role of religious agents in development through the prism of contractual partnerships between church organisations and the Tanzanian state in healthcare delivery. Three Christian denominations are included in the study: the Roman Catholic Church in Tanzania (Tanzania Episcopal Conference), the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Tanzania and the Free Pentecostal Church of Tanzania. Three theoretical perspectives are applied to the study of religion and development: (1) an instrumental perspective; (2) a bottom-up perspective and (3) an integral perspective. In order to operationalise the three theoretical perspectives to function adequately for health sector development research, three analytical concepts are included in the framework, namely resource dependency, linking social capital and intangible religious health assets. The methodology is based on an abductive qualitative approach with the use of case studies on the three church organisations (Catholic, Protestant and Pentecostal). Three key methods have been used for collecting data: policy analysis, semi-structured interviews and participant observation. Each organisation is analysed in terms of their Public Private Partnership (PPP) agreements and collaborative models, their relation towards the state, their internal health policies and their motives for delivering health services. Moreover, by including one local hospital per organisation (Turiani, Selian and Mchukwi), it is also possible to integrate the local implementation level into the study. In order to capture the views of public authorities, interviewees from the national Ministry of Health and local Council Health Management Teams have also been included. By entering into PPP health agreements, church organisations have moved to centre stage and gained more influence following the latest political and economic reforms. Their attraction as service providers follows from their existing infrastructure and previous experience and capacity in the health sector. The analysis shows that faith is a key motivator and a central factor in the running of church health services. However, the fact that church organisations are becoming increasingly dependent on the state has implications in terms of their role as a critical voice in the public debate and could potentially threaten their independence as faith-driven civil society actors. Church organisations are also becoming more vulnerable financially, as they are not compensated according to the PPP contracts. The current situation where church organisations are dominating the PPPs in health has implications on both the Tanzanian model of secularism, with its emphasis on Muslim and Christians being treated equally, and the local governments’ strive towards national ownership with their favouring of public healthcare over private alternatives. It is therefore necessary to further study the role of religion beyond an instrumental approach in order to get a deeper understanding of the religious dynamics in the PPPs in health in Tanzania. / The Impact of Religion: Challenges for Society, Law and Democracy

Assessing the Management of Public Private Partnerships In Infrastructure Procurement: A Complex Evolutionary Systems Theory PerspectiveParsons, Blair January 2016 (has links)
This dissertation focuses on the findings of a multi-case study centered around two public-private partnership (P3s) projects in Ontario: the Royal Ottawa Hospital and the Brampton Civic Hospital. Partnerships have become particularly important as a part of infrastructure procurement for all levels of government in Canada. While infrastructure public-private partnerships have grown in popularity, they remain a controversial means of procuring public assets. Considerable questions remain as to whether the mechanisms related to partnerships with the private sector represent a sufficient response to the challenges facing health care systems. As such, major avenues exist for contributions in the form of evidence-based examinations to the field of knowledge pertaining to hospital procurement.
A body of research literature and review of public-private partnerships, including those with a particular focus on health-sector projects in Canada, has grown over the past two decades. This study contributes an analysis of the relationship between public and private partners to that literature, utilizing a conceptual lens developed out of complex evolutionary systems theory. The study is intended to examine the capacity of public managers entering into a public-private partnership arrangement to successfully activate agents and utilize the skill and knowledge of these agents, conduct joint fact finding and consensus building, and better understand how they have arranged and organized joint interactions between the public and private sector.
The two case studies demonstrate the key inputs into the decision-making processes for what were formative health infrastructure partnership projects in Ontario, providing an assessment of the degree to which the government of Ontario was successful in managing a cooperative decision-making process that stressed inclusion and horizontal steering. Results find that public managers struggled in some ways to leverage an effective horizontal management style and engage in smart interventions to utilize expert knowledge to address knowledge gaps, contributing to stagnating negotiations and driving up transaction costs for the projects. Some noteworthy successes were experienced in the case of the Royal Ottawa Hospital in leveraging private-sector knowledge to develop performance metrics, and the approach to stakeholder engagement in this case presents positive lessons-learned for future P3 infrastructure projects.

Critical assessment of the legislative framework for private and public-private models of special economic zones in ZambiaMunuka, Kate Mando January 2014 (has links)
The focus of this study is to critically analyse the legislative framework for private and public private zonemodels in Zambia. The analysisis against the background of Zambia’scommitment to promote private sector development and the initiative to use the investmentpolicy tool of special economic zones (SEZs). The analysis is based on the salient provisions of Zambia’s Development Agency Act and Public Private Partnerships Act which regulate SEZs and public private partnerships respectively.. The main question sought to be addressed is the efficacy of the legislative framework for private and public private model zones, taking into account accommodation of private sector participation and nature of the investment and business environment. In addressing this question this study will analyse the salient provisions of the aforementioned laws showing how private sector actors are accommodated in the development and operation of the zones.The provisions under the aforementioned laws are to an extent analysed in conjunction with some of Zambia’s international trade and investment obligations such as the World Trade organisation Trade Related Investment Measures. An examination of how the incentives in SEZs are used is also provided as well as some lessons from Ghana, Mauritius and identified international best practices The main findings of the study include the following:
In so far as admission of investors to develop and operate SEZs is concerned the legislative framework does not generally discriminate between local and foreign investors and that admission through PPPs accommodates various kinds of well-known PPPs, even allowing prospective investors to kick start projects through submission of unsolicited proposals;
The need for Zambia’s SEZ policy to continuously evolve and diversify by undergoing relevant changes and improvements so that it remains relevant and adapts to the evolving nature of market availability and needs of SEZs whilst leveraging on Zambia’s comparative advantages;
The interplay between SEZs and Zambia’s international obligations present challenges and opportunities and thus revealing cause for the better appreciation of opportunities and complexities of SEZ policies and consequence of Zambia’s membership in more than one regional arrangement
Need to periodically review the incentive structure so that Zambia does not inadvertently loss revenue through incentives that do not necessarily prove useful to investors or yield the intended benefits for the country.
Based on the foregoing findings, among others,this study concludes that factors relating to the establishment of SEZs in Zambia incorporate private sector participation through the lifecycle of SEZs, that is to say from the time the investment is sought to be made to when it is becomes operationalmaking significant stride towards achieving openness to private sector participation through private and public private zone models.
Against the foregoing findings and conclusion this study recommends,interalia, forcontinuous and timely observation and assessment of the shifts in use of SEZ policies vis-à-vis changes in the macroeconomic conditions in whichthe SEZ policy is to be implemented and investor market availability. The rationale of the recommendation is so that any necessary review of the Zambian SEZ policy and pursuit of enhanced private sector development is done from an informed position. / Dissertation (LLM)--University of Pretoria, 2014. / gm2015 / Centre for Human Rights / LLM / Unrestricted

[en] MODELING UNCERTAINTIES AND FLEXIBILITIES IN PPP PROJECTS / [pt] UM MODELO GERAL PARA TOMADA DE DECISÃO SOB INCERTEZA E FLEXIBILIDADE EM PARCERIAS PÚBLICO-PRIVADAS19 June 2017 (has links)
[pt] As flexibilidades observadas em contratos de Parcerias Público-Privadas (PPPs) para projetos de infraestrutura rodoviária podem também ser compreendidas como opções contratuais. O modelo desenvolvido no presente estudo teve como principal foco o estabelecimento do nível ótimo de garantia governamental a ser ofertada à iniciativa privada em uma concessão de rodovia por PPP, utilizando a teoria de opções reais de forma integrada à métrica de performance Ômega, a qual obteve melhor resposta entre demais métricas VaR e CVaR propostas. Ainda de forma original, o modelo contemplou o apreçamento de garantias de receita mínima, como parte integrante do apreçamento de opções do tipo collar europeia (calls e puts) com caps, integrado ao apreçamento da opção americana de expansão (call) do projeto. O valor presente (VP) do projeto, considerando a opção de expandir a capacidade, foi calculado em 2,73 bilhões de Reais, que comparado ao valor esperado de 2,65 bilhões de Reais sem flexibilidade, representa um aumento de 73 milhões de Reais ao valor do projeto no caso base. O valor presente do projeto com a flexibilidade de expansão (call americana) e com garantia de receita mínima (put europeia) com cap 10 por cento do Capex permite atingir o valor de 3,33 para a medida Ômega, que é muito superior ao valor anterior de 0,996 obtido somente com a modelagem de opções tipo collar. / [en] The flexibilities observed in Public-Private Partnership (PPP) contracts for road infrastructure projects can also be taken as contractual options. The model developed in the present study had as main focus the establishments of the optimal level of government guarantee to be provided to private initiative in a PPP highway concession, using real option theory integrated with Omega measure, in which had a better response among other proposed VaR and CVaR metrics. Also in an original way, the model contribute to set a minimum revenue guarantees, as part of the european collar option (call and put), integrated to an expansion american call option. The project s present value (PV), considering an option for capacity expansion, was calculated at BRL 2.73 billion, which compared to the expected value of BRL 2.65 billion without flexibility, represents an increase of BRL 73 million to the value of the project in the base case scenario. The present value of the project with the flexibility of expansion (call) and with a minimum revenue guarantee with cap 10 percent of Capex, allows to reach the value of 3.33 for the Omega measure, which is much higher than the previous value of 0.996, obtained only with the european collar option.

Value for Money evaluation in PPPs: difficulties and developmentsDesgrées du Loû, Antoine January 2012 (has links)
Public private partnerships (PPPs) are procurement models used in the provision of public infrastructures and involving private, as opposed to public, finance. The PPP model differs from the traditional public procurement model in this sense and in the unprecedented degree to which the private sector is involved. All things being equal, the rationale for choosing a PPP instead of a traditional public procurement model is if it provides a better Value for Money. As a result, a crucial issue to address is to find the key drivers of Value for Money in PPP projects and most importantly, to analyze the relationships between those key drivers and the complex notion of Value for Money. This study is based on a large overview of the literature together with contributions of informal interviews and my own opinions. Emphasis is put on the importance of risk management from financiers’ perspective and its consequences on Value for Money. The findings highlight the current problems in the Value for Money assessment that make the analysis hardly reliable. Good and bad practices in Value for Money assessment are discussed and potential solutions and guidance toward more Value for Money are provided.
