PPPs and Infrastrastructure Financing: Making Sense of Czechia's Experience
Adjei, Stephen ; Witz, Petr (advisor) ; Plaček, Michal (referee)
Although the literature on PPPs in Europe generally has mainly discussed issues around the frameworks that are required for PPP policies to strive there has not been any study that has sought to discuss the extent to which coalitions and their interactions within the policy subsystem are causing changes of beliefs of actors through policy-oriented learning. For this reason, this paper using the ACF as a theory tried to ascertain the extent to which policy-oriented learning is leading to changes in the beliefs of actors using the Czech Republic as its case study. The paper concluded that indeed in the case of the Czech Republic although there have not been many successful PPP policies at the national level, in recent times there are gradual changes that are happening which shows that there is policy-oriented learning in the transport subsystem which can be attributable to both external and internal factors. For this reason, there is optimism among actors that going forward PPPs will be welcomed as an alternative for financing critical infrastructure projects in the country.
