Abstract
It may be useful to view Public-Private partnerships as part of a context in which they take root and continually interact. A fuller use of the term ecology refers to cultural, social, political and economic factors that nourish institutions and channel their evolution. Ecology encompasses intangible as well as tangible relationships — from the historical pattern of national institutions and attitudes to the possession of hard resources, assets and money. These factors go into the creation of an ecology that forms and continually shapes all kinds of institutions. Like armies, Public-Private partnerships are made from local, national and even global factors. They incorporate attitudes, institutions and resources and they rarely escape their constraints and opportunities.
