This book investigates participatory budgeting?a mainstay now of World Bank, UNDP, and USAID development programs?to ask whether its reforms truly make a difference in deepening democracy and empowering civil society. Looking closely at eight cities in Brazil, comparing those that carried out participatory budgeting reforms between 1997 and 2000 with those that did not, the authors examine whether and how institutional reforms take effect. Bootstrapping Democracy highlights the importance of local-level innovations and democratic advances, charting a middle path between those who theorize that globalization hollows out democracy and those who celebrate globalization as a means of fostering democratic values. Uncovering the state's role in creating an "associational environment," it reveals the contradictory ways institutional reforms shape the democratic capabilities of civil society and how outcomes are conditioned by relations between the state and civil society. 606 $aMunicipal government$zBrazil$xCitizen participation 606 $aMunicipal budgets$zBrazil$xCitizen participation 606 $aPolitical participation$zBrazil 606 $aDemocracy$zBrazil 606 $aCivil society$zBrazil 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMunicipal government$xCitizen participation. 615 0$aMunicipal budgets$xCitizen participation. 615 0$aPolitical participation 615 0$aDemocracy 615 0$aCivil society 676 $a320.80981 700 $aBaiocchi$b Gianpaolo$f1971-$01035052 701 $aHeller$b Patrick$01035053 701 $aSilva$b Marcelo Kunrath$01035054 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456719403321 996 $aBootstrapping democracy$92454549 997 $aUNINA
