Abstract:

Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) are becoming increasingly popular around the world. However, concerns around the politicisation, transparency and failure of numerous PPP have fuelled community mistrust in official government messages about the economic, social and environmental risks and opportunities of these projects. While community trust in government initiatives has been explored by social psychologists in numerous controversial policy areas such as nuclear power and genetic engineering, PPP projects have been ignored in these analyses. Similarly, while the subject of risk in PPPs has been explored extensively in construction management research from an 'insider's' perspective, the challenge of managing 'outside' community concerns about these projects, has been largely neglected. To address these gaps in knowledge, a new conceptual framework is presented which is based on an integration of Poortinga and Pidgeon's (2003) Dimensionality of Trust theory, Kasperson et al.'s (2003) theory of risk perception and Rowe and Frewer's (2005) typology of public engagement. Using these new theoretical lenses, a number of important propositions are derived to guide future empirical work in this area.
