Abstract
The article presents the historical development of one of the most important forms of interaction between state power and private enterprise in countries of the federal type – public-private partnership (hereinafter referred to as PPP). The following world powers came forward as research objects: the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the French Republic, Canada, and the United States of America. However, first of all, the authors of the article presented and disclosed the main terms and their characteristics, such as genesis, partnership ofthe state and business, and also analysed their own programmes aimed at the development of interaction of the state and private business (for example, Private Finance Initiative, Private Finance 2) as well as development centres (such as the global centre Partnerships United Kingdom, the federal coordination centre Mission D’appui aux Partenariats Public-privé (Fr. Mission of Support of PPP) and others. Accordingly, after conducting a historical analysis, it was established that, firstly, the role of the state in the implementation of PPP projects is decisive, as in most cases it is their initiator and main organiser, and, secondly, the basis of the construction and further development of this form of interaction is the formation of its institutional environment based on legal norms, specialised public authorities, the country’s political course.
