In the last decade, private-public partnerships have become a more common means for crisis management. This trend is partly a consequence of an increased private ownership of public utilities. The purpose of this study is to investigate how private-public partnerships for crisis management are organized in Finland and the United Kingdom. The results from the study are intended to generate ideas for how the private-public partnership model can be developed in Sweden. In the report, the interaction between private-public partnerships and other policy instruments such as information, economic incentives and regulation are described. Central aspects for starting up and maintaining on-going partnerships are discussed. Finally, the actual content of the partnerships and possible outcomes are treated in the report. The results from the study pinpoint a nmber of areas for future research. These areas are: To investigate if it is feasible for one or several public agencies in Sweden to take a more formal role regarding coordination of and support to private-public partnerships. To investigate if and how different private-public partnerships can become more formalised and/or their mandate expanded. To investigate the advantages and disadvantages with voluntary versus regulated participatiopn for the private sector in private-public partnerships. To investigate if it would be desirable and feasible to develop mechanisms in Sweden in order to support partnerships like the Local resilience forums in the United Kingdom. To investigate if and how the financing of public-private partnership can become more systematized and stable (such as the security of supply fee in Finland).
