Abstract:
The state aims through its public services to achieve the public interest.
However, the management of the latter is a burden for it. Given the correlation
between public services and sustained development, the state has to explore new
modes of action focused on effectiveness and efficiency in order to achieve this
objective.
The task of implementing the Public services is one of the state’s
prerogative. However, it has faced internal and external challenges, such as: the
development of the private sector, the fall of the socialist bloc, the neoliberal
ideology rehabilitating market economy based on free competition, free
enterprise, and cross-border investment integrated into globalization.
Such pressures require the adaptation of states with this new situation both
economically and politically. The development of partnership appears within the
general framework of a readjustment of modes of action of the public authority.
Arising in the economic world, the partnership covers a wide range:
Contracts, participation, delegation, association, consultation, cooperation,
financial contribution, subcontracting...
A decline of the direct intervention is registered especially in the economic
field, in favor of a partnership logic with a renewal of the concession
experimentation with new forms of public- contracts delegation, BOT ..
Algeria does not escape this international movement. It is committed to
liberalizing its economy, and the exploitation of new arrangements essentially of
an Anglo -Saxon origin.
The penetration of these arrangements is introduced by international
investors within the framework of the agreement of establishing infrastructure
and urban planning.
The international practice shows that the BOT is the most commonly used
form of public / private partnership for the construction of new equipment.
The BOT is a contract under which the private developer finances, constructs
and manages the equipment, and at the end of a given period, ownership of the
equipment is transferred to the public authority.
