Book Review of "Participação e deliberação: teoria democrática e experiências institucionais no Brasil contemporâneo" - English Version [recensão crítica]
| Resumo: | The editors of this volume present a series of essays on citizen participation and deliberation. The volume is divided in two parts. In the first, we find some theoretical approaches to the complex question of the importance of citizen engagement, participation and deliberation in democratic theory. In the second, there is a group of essays that describe and analyze a number of actual participative and deliberative experiences, predominantly in Brazil. Among them, is the Orçamento Participativo (deliberative local budget), started in Porto Alegre in 1989 and now with similar initiatives in more than 100 Brazilian municipalities; the local councils for the management of social policies, established by the constitution of 1988, and participatory experiences in the environment management and in economic and social regulation. |
