TL;DR: In this article, a comparative case study analysis of four PPP infrastructure projects demonstrates the relevance and importance of stakeholder inclusion in PPPs, and the use of a dynamic dual stakeholder management tool is recommended as well as the identification of governance structures that allow the sharing and division of responsibilities between stakeholders.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the effective implementation of new, large-scale seaport infrastructure projects provides a stimulus to policy makers to engage on a path of continuous reflection on who and what matters in decision-making: the continuous updating of one's understanding of spatial differentiation of stakeholder views is critical in this respect, and involves the real inclusion of spatially proximate and spatially distant stakeholders.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors define and position the port authority as an organization combining both public and private values and analyze the validity of the lenses of different theoretical perspectives from strategy and public management research for its strategic analysis.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors empirically analyzed transaction costs of PPPs in the pre-contractual stage and compared these to similar costs borne by private partners for traditional public procurement, and made suggestions to lower these costs or to improve the cost position of the private sector, in order to safeguard the competitive setting of the PPP market.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyse the project-based knowledge transfer and learning that occurred in two complex infrastructure (PPP) projects using face-to-face interviews with both internal and external project participants, an expost comparative analysis is made of two large-scale Belgian rail infrastructure projects.
