Megaprojects and Risk. An Anatomy of Ambition

New Public Governance

Policy design,, whether conceptualized as a verb referring to the process of formulating policy ideas,, or as a noun describing the logic through which policy intends to achieve its objectives,, remains relatively uncharted territory.. This paper reviews what we know about how policy designs emerge,, and identifies the kinds of biases and weaknesses that are introduced into designs by the decision heuristics employed.. Theories of policy invention and expert decision--mmaking suggest that individuals search through large amounts of relevant information stored in memory,, reason by analogies,, make comparisons,, and either copy or simulate patterns of information.. Policy scholars may contribute to improved policy design by making more explicit the biases introduced through reliance on decision heuristics,, and by suggesting a more formal,, self conscious search and selection process that enables designers to be more discriminating when they pinch policy ideas from other contexts.. To perform this task,, comparative policy analysis is needed in which common elements that exist in virtually all policies are identified and the underlying structural logic of the policies is made explicit.. In this paperwe set forth generic elements found in policies,, describe and compare some of the more common design patterns,, and discuss the circumstances where these may be inappropriately copied or borrowed,, thereby thwarting the effectiveness of the policy.

Examining the institutional drivers of Public-Private Partnership (PPP) market performance: a fuzzy set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA)

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has overwhelmed many national healthcare systems around the world In attempts to meet their emergency needs and mitigate escalating challenges, governments are increasingly reaching out to the private sector to form sustainable, public-private partnerships (PPPs) Unfortunately, many of these ad hoc efforts have been reactive and uncoordinated to date This perspective article thus offers a proactive, collaborative, and strategic vision for healthcare PPPs, focusing on short-, medium-, and long-term proposals that will harmonize strategic objectives and mobilize both public and private resources to combat and build resilience against global pandemics like COVID-19

Proactive and strategic healthcare public-private partnerships (PPPs) in the coronavirus (Covid-19) epoch

Objective This study aims to clarify the association between prosperity and novel coronavirus disease 2019 outcomes and its impact on the future management of pandemics. Methods This study is an observational study using information from two online registries. The numbers of infected individuals and deaths and the prosperity rank of each country were obtained from worldometer.info and the Legatum Institute's Prosperity Index, respectively. Results There is a combination of countries with high and low prosperity on the list of coronavirus disease 2019 infected countries. The risk of the virus pandemic seems to be more extensive in countries with high prosperity. A Spearman's rho test confirmed a significant correlation between prosperity, the number of coronavirus disease 2019 cases, and the number of deaths at the 99% level. Conclusion New emerging pandemics affect all nations. In order to increase the likelihood of successfully managing future events, it is important to consider pre-existing health security, valid population-based management approaches, medical decision-making, communication, continuous assessment, triage, treatment, early and complete physical distancing strategies, and logistics. These elements cannot be taught on-site and on occasion. There is a need for innovative and regular educational activities for all stakeholders committed to safeguarding our future defense systems concerning diagnostic, protection, treatment, and rehabilitation in pandemics as well as other emergencies.
