The formation of open partnerships between the state and business structures as an important area of public administration

An important area of public administration is the formation of open partnership relations between government agencies and representatives of the private sector of the economy. Long-term interaction between the state and business entities is of strategic importance for the development of the country’s economy, the development of production and services. Despite the difference in the functions of the subjects of legal relations, the purpose of their joint activities is to improve the well-being of society as a whole, as well as citizens and legal entities individually. Public-private partnerships can be implemented in two main forms: concession agreements and PPP/PPM agreements. In practice, other types of contractual relations are also used (life cycle contract form, long-term contract with investment obligations form, investment contract form, lease agreement with investment obligations form, energy service contract form, offset contract form).

An analysis of practical materials, as well as scientific research, made it possible to determine a list of problems arising during the implementation of public-private partnerships and possible ways to solve them.
