As a new form of governance, public-private partnerships have become an increasingly popular and important tool of the public policy process and service delivery. This article presents a case study of local governments' public-private partnerships, with a focus on the processes of ‘Local Agenda 21’ in Korea. Local Agenda 21 was launched in late 1994 by several local governments, and is now implemented in almost all local governments In Korea. Although it is too early to evaluate the effects of the public-private partnerships for Local Agenda 21, it is of practical interest to outline the processes and features. Moreover it contributes to review the base capacity of public-private partnership for Local Action 21 resulting from the local governments' session at the Johannesburg World Summit for Sustainable Development in 2002. As a result of this case study it turns out that the partnership activities including environment education, campaigns, and learning by direct and actual experiences help to induce the partners to agree and to expand civil participation. The partners in the partnerships may gradually develop mutual trust and overcome the current limitations. If this can be achieved, public-private partnerships may become one of the major tools of local governments in Korea.
