Book Description
"In The Road to Renewal: Private Investment in U.S. Transportation Infrastructure, R. Richard Geddes surveys the current state of the American transportation system and finds that, like the roads themselves, the existing policy approach is in desperate need of repair. Drawing on the basic economic principles behind supply, demand, competition, and incentives, Geddes argues that a shift toward increased use of public-private partnerships (PPPs)--contractual agreements between public agencies and private parties that allow private participation in the design, construction, operation, and delivery of transportation facilities--could significantly improve the quality of America's transportation infrastructure. By learning to see themselves as customers and investors--rather than mere users--of roads and highways, Americans should expect to receive a reasonable return on their investment: thorough, effective maintenance of America's transportation infrastructure. The Road to Renewal shows how incorporating increased private participation can halt the deterioration of America's transportation system and become the foundation for a safer, more efficient transportation future."--P. [4] of cover.

Sustaining Reforms for Inclusive Growth in Cameroon
Author: Florence CharlierPublisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN: 0821374044
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 312
Book Description
This comprehensive review of Cameroon's development policies since the 1970s-including public finance, privatization, trade, infrastructure, and governance-finds that Cameroon's malaise is due less to a lack of resources than to an inability to sustain reforms and to implement growth-enhancing policies. While the government's strategies have been sound, this volume argues that an "administrative inertia" has set in. This study makes a number of key recommendations to overcome this inertia, enhance cohesion and consistency in government actions, strengthen capacity to effectively execute programs, and hence increase development outcomes for Cameroon.

Third Way Reforms
Author: Jingjing HuoPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 0521518431
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 375
Book Description
This book examines the transformation of contemporary social democracy through the concept of "third way" reforms. It proposes a set of theories about the possibility for continuing social democratic ideological adaptation, for ideologies to overcome institutional constraints in triggering path-breaking innovations, and for social democracy to bridge the insider-outsider divide. Empirically, the book utilizes these theories to account for social democratic welfare state and labor market reforms in nine OECD countries after the end of the Golden Age. Based on the logic of "public evils," the book proposes that the ideologically contested nature of institutions provides incentives for institutional innovation. Social democratic ideology shapes the fundamental characteristics and content of the third way policy paradigm, and the paradigm's practical implementation continues to be path-dependent on historical institutional settings.
Highway Bridge Program: Clearer Goals and Performance Measures Needed for a More Focused and Sustainable Program
Author: Katherine SiggerudPublisher: DIANE Publishing
ISBN: 1437909604
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 25
Book Description
The Aug. 1, 2007, collapse of a Minnesota bridge raised nationwide questions about bridge safety and the U.S. Dept. of Transportation¿s prioritization of bridge resources. The Highway Bridge Program (HBP), the primary source of fed. funding for bridges, provided over $4 billion to states in FY 2007. This testimony addresses: (1) how states use HBP funds and select bridge projects for funding; (2) what data indicate about bridge conditions and the HBP¿s impact; and (3) the extent to which the HBP aligns with fed. laws and regulations for re-examining surface transportation programs. Includes recommendations. Charts and tables.
