JJUA55116U Public-Private Partnership - NOTE: THE COURSE IS CANCELLED IN THE SPRING SEMESTER 2017
This course is a comprehensive overview and examination of PPPs.
It is designed to provide a thorough analysis of the most relevant
legal aspects influencing PPPs including the public and private
legal sources as well as case law.
The course will examine the diverse array of PPPs in the EU, its
Member States and abroad. As such, the course will not only provide
students with a conceptual framework to understand the
establishment and maintenance of PPPs, but will discuss and
investigate the important characteristics of successful PPPs´
strategies.
The course seeks to enable students to:
- Review the legal framework covering PPPs.
- Assess what type of PPP is used in a given contract, and consequently which law is applicable.
- Explain how the EU rules and principles affect PPPs.
- Demonstrate the knowledge of the leading case law within the area and reflect upon it.
- Identify and analyse potential legal challenges accompanying the establishment and management of PPPs.
- Provide legal advice and recommendations on:
- When and which PPP strategy to choose,
- How to solve potential problems of PPPs
The mandatory readings and materials have been selected so as to provide the basic information and knowledge for the issues covered by the course. The readings and material will comprise approximately 500 pages. These material are enough to achieve the learning goals of the course. However, supplementary (optional) readings and materials to go further into the topics covered by the course will be provided.
