Seller's Description:
Like New. Size: 6x1x9; Hardcover. Good binding and cover. Light wear. Clean, unmarked pages. Rebecca Abers provides a close study of innovative city government in Porto Alegre, Brazil. Led by the Workers' Party, the city implemented a participatory budget program in which residents meet in their neighborhoods to determine budget priorities. Taking place in a city long dominated by patronage politics and elite rule, the story is both a sociopolitical study of the impact that state-sponsored participatory forums can have on civil society and a contribution to the theory and practical possibilities of participatory democracy.
