• On Public–Private Partnership Performance (2017, background): “See Flinders (2005); Macdonald (2002); National Audit Office (NAO; 2000); Pollock, Shaoul, and Vickers (2002); and NAO (2009), for examples of P3 reviews taking a more specific focus.”
• How Do Governments Support the Development of Public Private Partnerships? Measuring and Comparing PPP Governmental Support in 20 European Countries (2015, background): “Longterm policy and political commitment are seen in PPP literature as key variables with which to manoeuvre successful PPPs projects (see Dehli, Palukuri, & Mahalingam, 2010; Flinders, 2005; Johnston, 2010; Jooste et al., 2011).”
• Accountability and Multi-level Governance: More Accountability, Less Democracy? (2010, background): “Responsibility is then diluted, as is also the case in public–private partnerships where, in order to escape criticism for poor performance, public and private actors are likely to engage in ‘blame-shift games’ that are prejudicial to accountability (Hood 2007 : 200; see also Flinders 2005 : 231).”
• Neoliberalism and the geographies of marketization (2016, background): “This temporal displacement of cost over the lifecycle of the project – i.e. ‘buy now, pay later’ (Flinders, 2005) – constitutes the rationality behind infrastructure PPPs, legitimating them as a reduction in the immediate fiscal impact of investment on other public spending objectives (Hillier and…”
• Lost in diffusion? How collaborative arrangements lead to an accountability paradox (2011, background): “…of accountability tools, with its one-sided focus on formal sanctions (e.g. dismissal), is becoming less suitable to grasp the real nature of present-day governance (Behn, 2001; Considine, 2002; Dowdle, 2006; Flinders, 2001; Hodge and Coghill, 2007; Mulgan, 2003; Philp, 2009; Scott, 2000).”
• Problems of Democratic Accountability in Network and Multilevel Governance (2007, unknown): “Moreover, public authorities can shift the blame for poor performance to their private “partners” (the reverse is also true of course in situations where blame avoidance games that cause prejudice to accountability are possible: see Flinders 2005: 231).”
