It analyzes the merits and demerits of participatory budgeting practices around the world with a view to guiding policy makers and practitioners on improving such practices in the interest of inclusive governance. This publication includes five regional surveys, and seven country case studies can be found on the accompanying CD ROM. The study explains that participatory budgeting has been advanced by budget practitioners and academics as an important tool for inclusive and accountable governance and has been implemented in various forms in many developing countries around the globe. It adds that through participatory budgeting, citizens have the opportunity to gain firsthand knowledge of government operations, influence government policies, and hold government to account. However, participatory processes also run the risk of capture by interest groups. Captured processes may continue to promote elitism in government decision making. This book examines the potential and perils of participatory budgeting, as observed from practices around the globe. It is divided into three parts. Part I presents the nuts and bolts of participatory budgeting. Part II surveys experiences with participatory budgeting in various regions of the world. Part III (Vol. 2) is on the CD ROM accompanying this book, and it examines case studies of practices in seven countries.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO INFORMATIONACCOUNTABILITYCITIESCITIZENCITIZEN ENGAGEMENTCITIZEN INPUTCITIZEN INVOLVEMENTCITIZEN PARTICIPATIONCITIZEN VOICECITIZENSCIVIL PARTICIPATIONCIVIL SOCIETYCIVIL SOCIETY GROUPSCIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONCIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONSCIVIL SOCIETY PARTICIPATIONCOALITIONSCOLLECTIVE ACTIONCOMBATING CORRUPTIONCOMMUNISTCORRUPTIONDECENTRALIZATIONDECISION MAKINGDECISION-MAKINGDECISION-MAKING POWERDECISION-MAKING PROCESSESDEMOCRACIESDEMOCRACYDEMOCRATIC PARTICIPATIONDEMOCRATIZATIONDICTATORSHIPDYSFUNCTIONAL GOVERNANCEECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTEFFECTIVE PARTICIPATIONELECTED OFFICIALSELECTED REPRESENTATIVESELECTIONELECTIONSENABLING LEGISLATIONEXECUTIONFACILITATORSFEASIBILITYFEDERALISMFIGURESFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTFINANCIAL RESOURCESFINANCIAL SUPPORTFISCAL MANAGEMENTFISCAL RESOURCESFISCAL REVENUESFISCAL TRANSPARENCYFREE MEDIAGOOD GOVERNANCEGOVERNANCE ENVIRONMENTGOVERNANCE ISSUESGOVERNMENT DECISIONGOVERNMENT DECISION MAKINGGOVERNMENT OFFICIALSGOVERNMENT PERFORMANCEGOVERNMENT POLICIESGOVERNMENT SERVICESINCOMEINSTITUTION BUILDINGINSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTSINSTITUTIONAL DESIGNINSTITUTIONAL MECHANISMSINTEREST GROUPSINTERNATIONAL AGENCIESINTERNATIONAL AIDINTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTINTERNATIONAL LABOURINTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONSLACK OF TRANSPARENCYLEGAL FRAMEWORKLEGAL PROVISIONSLEGISLATIONLEGISLATORSLEGISLATURESLEVELS OF GOVERNMENTLIBERATIONLICENSESLOCAL AUTHORITIESLOCAL AUTHORITYLOCAL BUDGETSLOCAL CAPACITYLOCAL CONDITIONSLOCAL COUNCILSLOCAL GOVERNANCELOCAL GOVERNMENTLOCAL GOVERNMENTSLOCAL LEVELSLOCAL SELF-GOVERNMENTMEDIA INTERVENTIONMEDIA INVOLVEMENTMINISTRIES OF FINANCEMOTIVATIONSMULTILATERAL ORGANIZATIONSMUNICIPAL GOVERNMENTMUNICIPAL GOVERNMENTSMUNICIPALITIESMUNICIPALITYNATIONAL FRAMEWORKNATIONAL GOVERNMENTSNATIONAL LAWSNATIONAL PARLIAMENTNATIONSOPENNESSOPPOSITION PARTIESPARLIAMENTPARTICIPATION MECHANISMSPARTICIPATORY BUDGETINGPARTICIPATORY DEMOCRACYPARTICIPATORY DEVELOPMENTPARTICIPATORY PLANNINGPARTICIPATORY POVERTY ASSESSMENTPARTICIPATORY PROCESSPARTICIPATORY PROCESSESPARTICIPATORY TOOLSPERFORMANCE ACCOUNTABILITYPERFORMANCE EVALUATIONPOLICY IMPLICATIONSPOLICY MAKERSPOLICY MAKINGPOLITICAL CONTESTABILITYPOLITICAL ELITESPOLITICAL PARTIESPOLITICAL PARTYPOOR GOVERNANCEPOVERTY ALLEVIATIONPOVERTY REDUCTIONPREPARATIONPRESIDENCYPROJECT IMPLEMENTATIONPROVINCIAL LEGISLATURESPUBLICPUBLIC ACCOUNTABILITYPUBLIC ADMINISTRATIONPUBLIC AFFAIRSPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC EXPENDITURE MANAGEMENTPUBLIC FEEDBACKPUBLIC FINANCEPUBLIC FINANCIAL MANAGEMENTPUBLIC FUNDSPUBLIC GOVERNANCEPUBLIC MANAGEMENTPUBLIC MEETINGSPUBLIC OFFICIALSPUBLIC PARTICIPATIONPUBLIC POLICIESPUBLIC POLICYPUBLIC POLICY ISSUESPUBLIC RESOURCESPUBLIC SECTORPUBLIC SECTOR ACCOUNTABILITYPUBLIC SECTOR GOVERNANCEPUBLIC SECTOR MANAGEMENTPUBLIC SECTOR PERFORMANCEPUBLIC SERVANTSPUBLIC SERVICEPUBLIC SERVICE PROVISIONPUBLIC SERVICESPUBLIC SPENDINGPUBLIC TRANSPARENCYRECONSTRUCTIONRESOURCE ALLOCATIONREVENUE CAPACITYSERVICE DELIVERYSOCIAL CAPITALSOCIAL EQUITYSOCIAL JUSTICESOCIAL MOVEMENTSSOCIAL ORGANIZATIONSOCIAL POLICIESSTAKEHOLDERSSUBNATIONAL GOVERNMENTSTRANSPARENCYVILLAGESVOTINGWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-6923-4
