Economic and social Public Private Partnership (PPP) procurement systems are used as the two main private partner revenue stream options for the delivery of public infrastructure assets and services. Poor Stakeholder Management (SM) has been highlighted as a reason for PPP failure. This paper attempts to explore the SM strategies for the successful delivery of PPP projects with the aim of how they should be tailored for economic infrastructure PPP projects. Mixed method of research was undertaken together with questionnaire survey, nineteen semi-structured interviews and a validation case study in Australia. Fifteen out of the forty-two strategies showed a significant difference in ranking for economic infrastructure projects which were then categorized and discussed under three main issues in economic infrastructure projects. The identified strategies were further validated and refined through a case study in Australia together with the new strategies that can be related to the issues in economic infrastructure projects. A SM framework was then proposed that is centred around key SM-related issues in economic infrastructure projects i.e. effective management of community stakeholders, improved transparency around PPPs, and dealing with democratic politics around PPPs. The proposed framework has highlighted a variety of strategies in the management of stakeholders in economic infrastructure projects.
