Examines “infrastructureâ€ù – what it is and why it is so important to long-term growth and development, then reviews the way infrastructure is planned for and how projects are developed. Looks at the role of both the public and private sectors in infrastructure development and the emergence of public-private partnerships as a way for the public sector to “crowd inâ€ù private finance and expertise for infrastructure development. Analyzes both the positive and negative elements of such partnerships, the risks involved, and the implications for both policy makers and private organizations. Bring these elements together through two to three relevant case studies. Prerequisites: Microeconomics (Corporate Finance an advantage).
