Governance Frameworks for Major Public Projects: I nternational Practices and Experiences

Studies and perspectives on effective government-funded project governance

Governance Frameworks for Major Public Projects: International Practices and Experiences brings together expert contributions and recent research to enable readers to make informed, rigorous decisions in the governance of major public projects.

This book includes information on:

• Key components for success or failure, such as project governance structures and processes, especially in the front-end phase
• The link between policy intention/aspiration and the execution of projects
• Examples of governance models from several countries that address the challenge of the disconnect between policy and its delivery
• Methods to obtain oversight and control of porfolios through effective project governance mechanisms

Combining empirical data and theoretical studies with a global outlook, Governance Frameworks for Major Public Projects: International Practices and Experiences earns a well-deserved spot on the bookshelves of policy and industry practitioners across all project-based organisations. Advanced students of project management will also find the text valuable.
