Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

With the rapid development of the economy, the acceleration of urban construction, the intensification of aging and the increasing complexity of social problems, social risks are becoming more obvious, such as the neighbor risk, the health risks in vulnerable groups and public health risks, which all have the characteristics of diversity, universality and dispersion. In the face of various unpredictable risks, we must discuss the roles of the government, society, the market and citizens, and how their roles may be enforced. The question of how to identify, prevent, control and manage various risks effectively is an important topic in the field of public management research. The theory of fairness and justice, Smith's policy analysis model analysis, governance theory and risk management theory, stakeholder theory, social network theory, social support theory, etc., can all be used to systematically solve and evaluate neighbor risk, health risk and public health risk management. In this way, risks can be reduced, the social strata gap can be narrowed, all social subjects can be strengthened through the participation of different public management affairs, and these relevant departments or institutions can formulate appropriate policies and realize the scientificity and acceptability of public management outcomes.

The public sector is becoming increasingly appealing. In the context of declining public money to support health studies and public health interventions, public–private partnerships with entities (including government agencies and scientific research institutes) are becoming increasingly important. When forming this type of cooperation, the participants highlight synergies between the private partners and the public’s missions or goals. The tasks of private and public sector actors, on the other hand, frequently diverge significantly. The integrity and honesty of public officials, institutions, trust, and faith in those individuals and institutions may all be jeopardized by these collaborations. In this study, we use the institutional corruption framework to highlight systemic concerns raised by PPPs affiliated with the governments of one of South Asia’s countries. Overall analytical frameworks for such collaborations tend to downplay or disregard these systemic impacts and their ethical implications, as we argue. We offer some guidelines for public sector stakeholders that want to think about PPPs in a more systemic and analytical way. Partnership as a default paradigm for engagement with the private sector needs to be reconsidered by public sector participants. They also need to be more vocal about which goals they can and cannot fulfill, given the limitations of public financing resources. Full article
