特许经营与PPP的关系--以发达国家为背景

Relationships between Concessions and PPPs——From the Perspective of Developed Countries' Scenarios

特许经营(concession)是一个古老的制度创新,有关特许经营的现代理论至少可追溯至19世纪,而其实践活动则更为久远。1992年英国发起私人融资计划PFI(Private Finance Initiative)。从此,特许经营与PFI共同构成驱动PPP(public-private partnerships)发展的"双轮"。特许经营与PPP之间的关系可概括为:PPP是对特许经营制度的继承与发展,特许经营是PPP的一种具体实现形式。

Concessions are an old innovation, the modern theory of concessions dates back at least to the nineteenth century. The practice of concessions traces back from even earlier,to the middle ages. In 1992, the British government announced the Private Finance Initiative, concessions and PFI have become the ＂dou-ble wheels＂ which are promoting the development of PPPs since then. Hence, the relationships between con-cessions and PPPs can be summarized as： PPPs are the development of concessions on the basis of inheri-tance, and concessions are one of the forms of PPPs.
