Abstract
This paper is a thematic review of the corpus of literature on Public Private Partnerships. I begin with the objectives of the review (Hart, 2008); and move to the process followed and difficulties encountered on the way. Constructing a map of extant literature(Creswell, 1994) as comprising of Conceptual, Empirical, Policy and Journalistic work, I use this map first to situate my research (Blaxter, Hughes, & Tight, 2002) (Hart, 2008); next to critique the available literature (Hart, 2008). The critique guides us into the research gap that I aspire to fill (Locke & Golden-Biddle, 1997) (Locke & Golden-Biddle, 2007). One of my contributions is a comprehensive conceptual framework of Public Interest and Accountability, Private Profit and Efficiency and Organizational Design aspects for the analysis and evaluation of PPPs. I demonstrate its utility by reviewing extant literature using this framework.
