The privatisation-regulation model and the traditional public sector delivery model represent two extremes for delivery of public services. Between these there are many others where governments maintain a far more intimate, complex, ongoing, and subtle relationship with private or public providers. Whatever the form of delivery the nature of the services, the ethical norms and values surrounding public services and their delivery, the political climate, and the institutions will all affect the relationship between government and provider, the governance process, the appropriate institutional structure, and its success and failure. The analysis and understanding of these relationships is the theme of the conference.
