ABSTRACT

Can partnership and contracting out be a promising strategy for enhancing rural development where other methods have failed? Could the private production and delivery of services that used to be performed by government improve public sector productivity? A study of school busing in a rural county in Tennessee (USA) suggests that there is more to Public-Private Partnership (PPP) than what meets the eye. The paper concludes that the special rural context of a PPP can mitigate and change the Principal-Agent nature of the relationships between the partners from a zero sum game kind of a relationship to a collaboration and a win-win game.
