Abstract
The purpose of our study is to examine ‘public—private partnerships’ as a concept and as a practical approach to problem solving.1 The context is intersectoral by definition; with roles subject to redefinition and responsibilities to redistribution, fundamental issues of distribution and authority are raised. The context also is intergovernmental as a result of anticipated and actual changes in federal funding and policies, the promotion of a restructured and refocused set of intergovernmental relationships (‘new federalism’), and the explicit encouragement of expanding the private sector’s and subnational governments’ functions, financial responsibilities, and policy making roles.
