Description

This course will look at efforts to manage, finance, and regulate the transportation, telecommunication, water, sanitation, and energy infrastructure systems in developing countries. Issues to be discussed include public-private partnerships, awarding concession contracts, project finance, contract and discretionary regulation, asset valuation, and managing the political context in which infrastructure decisions are made. The course will rely on case material taken from infrastructure programs in developing countries, including Brazil, Mexico, Thailand, Laos, Argentina, Philippines, Uganda, Madagascar, and India, as well as key developed countries, including the United Kingdom and Australia.
