Abstract
Countries in central and eastern Europe are increasingly appreciating the potential of public-private partnerships (PPPs) for the rebuilding of their crumbling infrastructure. Hungary, the Czech Republic and Poland have already implemented PPPs for some years, mostly in the transport sector, whereas states like Bulgaria, Romania and Russia have been slower in adopting them. While the need to modernise these countries' public infrastructure should lead to an increase in the use of this alternative method of public procurement, a number of obstacles remain which need to be overcome by putting in place certain political and legislative measures.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
