Radicals in Power: The Workers' Party and Experiments in Urban Democracy in BrazilGianpaolo Baiocchi Zed Books, 2003 M10 17 - 254 páginas Radicals in Power provides a rich and systematic account of the innovative redistributive democracy policies introduced in Brazil over the past 20 years by the Workers Party of Brazil (PT) at state level, in big city administrations, and medium-sized urban centers. Based on original field investigation, and with contributions both from scholars and active participants in the process, this volume provides a unique understanding of how a non-dogmatic leftwing political movement has instituted highly innovative experiments to involve ordinary citizens, especially the socially disadvantaged, in local policy choices and fiscal allocation decisions, as well as other experiments to achieve participation, social redistribution, and justice. |
