The year of 2010 will be remembered as one when the second
attempt to pass a PPP Act finally succeeded. Ukrainian
legal doctrine pronounced a new, for its nature, concept of a
partnership between public and private sectors. Was it an
evolutionary demand of time? Or was it a mere adherence to modern
trends and another blind copy of Western ideas? Time will be the
judge.
Infrastructure Retrospective
As was mentioned on many occasions before, even on the pages of
this Handbook and elsewhere in the media, the Ukrainian government
continually fails to deal on its own with the country's
worn-out, self-destructive and obsolete infrastructure networks and
facilities. Over the last few years more and more private investors
have been allowed into this sphere. But it is only till very
recently that these relations have been called a partnership.
