Críticas
"Baiocchi, Heller, and Silva go beyond examining the 'success' of participatory budgeting to assess its actual impact in terms of government services and the further development of civil society. This clear, original work fills a very large void and really is incomparable." -- Philip Oxhorn * McGill University * "This is one of the better contributions concerning participatory democracy in Brazil to be published in recent years. What makes this better than other recent studies of grassroots democracy in Brazil is the closer analysis of the different ways that PB develops across cities. . . This is an accessible book, even when the authors are discussing jargon-laden democratic theory or comparing Brazilian experiences to similar experiments in India and South Africa." -- B. P. Keating * Choice * "Insightful, subtle, and persuasively argued, Bootstrapping Democracy is a wonderful contribution to political theory and comparative politics. Writing on Brazil's two-decade-long experiment in participatory budgeting, Baiocchi, Heller, and Silva defend democracy's great promise: to turn citizens from clients into self-governing agents who, deploying their human powers, direct politics to a common good." -- Joshua Cohen * Stanford University * "Bootstrapping Democracy is an exciting breath of fresh air in an era when the intellectual debate on how to construct effective democratic politics seems in danger of becoming sterile. Baiocchi, Heller, and Silva put an impressive set of empirical data together with an original theoretical perspective to create a positive thesis that should have a powerful invigorating impact on the democracy debate." -- Peter Evans, University of California * Berkeley * "Bootstrapping Democracy demonstrates the importance of ongoing experimentation as local governments and their civil society allies seek to deepen the quality of democratic institutions . . . Their research design, a paired case comparison, advances academic and policy debates on participatory democracy . . . The comparative approach used in this book makes it useful for both undergraduate and graduate courses." -- Brian Wampler * Social Forces *
