| 520 | 1 | |a "What relevance can a middle-sized Brazilian city possibly have for the rest of the world? This book provides the answer. The Porto Alegre Experiment gives a down to earth description of how this democratic innovation works in practice. It explores the difficult questions. Can inhabitants taking part in public management really strengthen its efficiency? Is genuine participation possible without small groups monopolizing power? Can local organizations avoid becoming bureaucratized and cut off from their roots? Can neighborhood mobilization go beyond parochialism and act in the general interest?" "The authors also raise the bigger question about what are the lessons to be learned from Porto Alegre for a renewal of democratic institutions elsewhere in the world. This is why this illuminating and independent-minded investigation will be of use to scholars, politicians and those campaigning for a deepening of democratic institutions worldwide."--BOOK JACKET. | |
