description <p>Public/Private Partnerships can be seen as one particular topos where the divide between the public domain, all levels of the Public Administration and the private initiative and private property is turned into a joint venture rather than a confrontation or a cleavage. Some of the possible combinations of public and private and where public/private partnerships might fit are displayed analytically. The importance of political theory or ideology in conceiving the relationships between &lsquo;public&rsquo; and &lsquo;private&rsquo;, and the conceptions of a market economy as opposed to a social market economy cannot be exaggerated enough, but equally important are the legal or regulatory framework and the underlying dominant legal culture and legal principles, and of course the economic and financial situation. Public/private partnerships thrive in some conditions, but seem to wane in others, and the current predicament is not favourable, taking into account that only the regulatory framework is supportive of these ventures.</p> <hr /><p>Los partenariados p&uacute;blico-privados se pueden entender como un espacio particular, en el que el sector p&uacute;blico, todos los niveles de la administraci&oacute;n p&uacute;blica, y la iniciativa privada y la propiedad privada, abordan una empresa conjunta, en lugar mantener posturas contrapuestas. Se muestran algunas de las posibles combinaciones del sector p&uacute;blico y privado, en las que tendr&iacute;an cabida los partenariados p&uacute;blico/privados. Es patente la importancia de la teor&iacute;a o la ideolog&iacute;a pol&iacute;tica para entender las relaciones entre lo p&uacute;blico y lo privado, y las concepciones de una econom&iacute;a de mercado frente a una econom&iacute;a social, pero tampoco se puede negar la importancia del marco legal o reglamentario y la cultura jur&iacute;dica dominante subyacente, y los principios jur&iacute;dicos, sin olvidar la situaci&oacute;n econ&oacute;mica y financiera. Los partenariados p&uacute;blico-privados prosperan en algunas condiciones, pero no lo hacen siempre, y la situaci&oacute;n econ&oacute;mica actual no es favorable, pues s&oacute;lo el marco regulatorio apoya estas iniciativas.</p> <p><strong>DOWNLOAD THIS PAPER FROM SSRN:</strong> <a href="http://ssrn.com/abstract=2083517" target="_blank">http://ssrn.com/abstract=2083517</a></p>
