Participative Budget

Abstract

In the first decade of the XXI century the development in democratic innovations in the local scope have been prominent. Certainly, the most emblematic of these innovations is the Participative Budget, a process in which citizens have the opportunity to directly influence the municipal budget. However, these processes require a new political culture, more inclusive, more relational. Hence, these are the limits of the Participative Budget, the vulnerability of the experiences and their varying results.
