Det er ikke uden grund, at FN’s verdensmål nummer 17 hedder ”Styrk det globale partnerskab”.I offentlig-private partnerskaber arbejder aktører i den offentlige sektor forpligtende sammen med den private sektor – det kan både være virksomheder, foreninger og ngo’er – om at skabe fælles værdi og resultater. Alle involverede parter deler såvel risici som gevinster. Partnerskabsmodellen er udbredt, og interessen for den vokser. Bogen præsenterer den teori, der eksisterer om emnet, og gør rede for de forskellige typer af partnerskaber, der findes, samt deres fordele og ulemper.Aktuelle cases viser, hvordan partnerskabsprocesser fungerer i praksis. Og bogen giver anvisninger på, hvordan partnerskaber kan struktureres, styres og ledes og baner vejen for løsninger på vanskelige problemer.
