Abstract
Proposal: The rapid economic development registered in emerging economies, such as Brazil, have in recent years placed increased pressure on infrastructure development with significant impacts in terms of financing needs. The Public- Private Partnership (PPP) is an instrument, used worldwide, for public procurement of major projects. Its use occurs through concession projects or public service to a private partner, for a specified period of time, including significant funding from the private. PPPs are seen as accelerators of development, since they are characterized as a quick way to approve and implement infrastructure projects. However, in Latin America and more specifically in Brazil, recent experiences have resulted in a large number of contractual renegotiations that transform the expected social and economic benefits of the public and private sectors into financial losses and delays in delivery and operation of these infrastructures.The objectiveof this study is to review the literature on the subject of PPPs, with the focus on the areas of governance and renegotiations, and thus to analyze and compare with the experiences of Brazilian PPPs, pointing weaknesses and suggesting improvements in these processes that would result in quality gains in its application.The methodused for the development of this research are: the descriptive, conducted through exploratory literature review seeking a better understanding of the subject under study, followed by case studies, analysis of results and proposing improvements in these processes.Results: The research presents contributions in the processes of governance and renegotiation of Brazilian PPPs resulting in gains of quality, applicability and feasibility in applying this type of contract.Conclusion: The research obtained a set of contributions in the processes of governance and renegotiation of contracts, to a sist the public and private sectors in the optimization of economic and financial results in the Brazilian PPPs.

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
