Investigating local experiences with Brazil's participatory budgeting initiative, the authors (professors of sociology at Brown U., US, and the Federal U. of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil) decided that their most striking finding was the ways in which local actors and state actors proved extremely adept at adapting the national "blueprint" diffused by the Brazilian state to local realities. Analyzing these processes of participatory budgeting, they came to see them as "bootstrapping democracy," by which they intend to signify that they are, at one and the same time, an instrumental response to the challenge of coordinating the functions of local government with the inputs of local civil society and an ethico-political project of empowering citizens.
