Description:	This book sets out to provide such an assessment, by addressing all of the issues identified by the authors above, through first, clarifying the principles of partnership necessary for the positive potential of TTPs to be brought to fruition; second, looking at the implications of the TTP framework for governance for sustainable development; third, using empirical case studies to investigate how far individual TTPs were living up to the aspirations associated with them; and fourth, considering whether the concerns raised by critics of TTPs were well-founded in practice. Ivanova (2003, 17) pointed out that ‘partnerships are [not] effective by definition . . . Their ultimate effectiveness will hinge upon their internal structure as well as their relationship to the broader forms of global governance.’ This study has been conducted precisely to investigate the effectiveness of the internal structure and wider relationships of specific TTPs. We endorse the view that: ‘partnerships must be evaluated to evolve’ (Küpçü 2005, 96), and only through evaluation, such as that undertaken in the chapters that follow, will we begin to understand the contribution TTPs can potentially make towards the governance and implementation of sustainable development.
