Abstract

Participatory budgeting means involving ordinary citizens in the spending of public funds. Participatory budgeting takes people’s participation beyond selecting their elected representatives to deciding on community development projects, deployment of funds, and other areas of intervention, leading to a democratization of policy arenas. Originating in Brazil in the 1980s, it spread across the world quickly. This case is about the implementation of National Participatory Budget in Portugal.
