In the context of declining public aid for infrastructure investment in developing countries and abuse of structured finance models by companies such as WorldCom, Delmon details the concept of a project private sector financed according to the Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) model, i.e., one in which risk allocation for complex projects is supposed to be very closely assessed and managed. Drawing examples from various industrial sectors (e.g., transportation, utilities), he analyzes the subject of risk in theoretical and practical terms, and addresses general issues in BOT projects and issues specific to particular sectors. The volume includes an extensive glossary. The author's background is not stated.
