Bringing Women Back into the (Collective) Kitchen
Women’s participation in informal and collective carework in Latin America has had ambiguous effects on their access to extended citizenship rights, from which they have been traditionally excluded. In this paper, we examine the case of the 2009 Ley de comedores sociales in Mexico city, which institutionalizes the pivotal role of women as administrators of the community-based comedores comunitarios (community kitchens). Drawing from insights from…

Creating Local “Citizen's Governance Spaces” in Austerity Contexts
While there is a growing interest in citizen-led initiatives, there is still no consensus on how to situate them, especially in relation to state institutions. On the one hand, citizen-led initiatives are seen as being co-opted by formal institutions in a context of austerity. On the other hand, these initiatives are often presented as “spaces of resistance” to neoliberalism, or as political acts of reclaiming the city. Mapping and tracing urban …

What Is Informal Participation
Collectively Gardening the Urban Public Space in Mexico City
In recent years, a growing number of citizen-led gardens have appeared in the urban public spaces of large cities across the world. While many of these projects are initially launched informally without any support from the state, they gradually become integrated into the social fabric of the city. To understand the evolution of the formal-informal boundaries of the practice, we argue that we should be paying attention to the specific institution…
Repoliticising indigenous participation
Global activism led to the emergence of new international standards concerning state obligations to consult Indigenous peoples and, under certain circumstances, obtain their free, prior and informed consent (FPIC) when extractive projects impact their rights and traditional territories. However, a growing literature shows that the implementation of Indigenous peoples’ participatory rights remains uneven and inconsistent at best. This paper focuse…
When Informality Matters
What are the conditions underlying successful implementation of participatory security mechanisms? Drawing on the case of Ciudad Nezahualcóyotl and from the notion of social embeddedness, we argue that participatory security reforms that aim to include citizens in defining security priorities allow for better adoption of reforms in practice. Local level reforms are not implemented in a social vacuum but rather in pre-existing social networks that…
CPLE et protocoles de consultation autochtones au Brésil
À partir de l’étude comparée de deux cas de protocoles de consultation autochtones brésiliens (les Protocoles juruna et munduruku), cet article entend documenter le phénomène en retraçant l’émergence et les usages de ces protocoles par les acteurs en place, afin d’en souligner non seulement la portée juridique, mais aussi politique. Ainsi, et c’est ce que la comparaison permet de mettre en lumière, même si les avancées et les défis des protocoles…

Instituições Participativas Sob a Égide Do Lulismo
A tese do lulismo (Singer, 2012) se baseia no argumento da alteração da composição das bases eleitorais dos ex-presidentes brasileiros Luis Inácio Lula da Silva (Lula) e Dilma Rousseff (Dilma), da classe média razoávelmente ilustrada para eleitores com renda média de até dois salários mínimos. No entanto, é mais do que isso: a referida tese propõe que o lulismo atualiza a conciliação entre a melhoria das condições de vida dos mais pobres, sem pre…
It Was Once a Radical Democratic Proposal
Because of its early positive assessments, participatory budgeting (PB) has been and continues to be praised by several policymakers, and the Brazilian model has become an institutional blueprint around the world. No one questions the way the model has evolved in Brazilian municipalities with a long tradition of PB, but it was institutionalized there through practice and not through state legislation. It is thus highly permeable to political will…
The Participatory Democracy Turn
Uma Constituição cidadã? Sucessos e limites da institucionalização de um sistema de participação cidadã no Brasil democrático
A adoção da Constituição democrática de 1988 foi marcada pela vontade de romper com o período autoritário e de incluir a participação ampla dos cidadãos brasileiros nos processos decisórios locais, estaduais e nacionais. Após 30 anos a linguagem da inclusão dos cidadãos e da Constituição cidadã foi retomada pelos políticos de todos os níveis de governos para marcar a ambição democrática e inclusive de suas ambições particulares. Muitas iniciativa…

Participatory citizenship in the making? The multiple citizenship trajectories of participatory budgeting participants in Brazil
Most scholarship on participatory budgeting (PB) has highlighted its impact on democratic processes and redistributive outcomes, but there is also an implicit argument associating it with citizenship learning processes at the individual and collective levels. As a mechanism for social interactions, it is often called a ‘school of citizenship’ nurturing the development of ‘better citizens’ who participate as agents and members of a political commu…
Between Collective Action and Individual Appropriation
Examining the concept of clientelism in analysis of participatory processes, we investigate how collective and individual action are articulated in practices in the case of participatory budgeting (PB) in Recife, Brazil. We use ethnographic work to look how collective actors mobilize within the PB process in Recife and show that PB's territorial and redistributive nature provides fertile ground for informal exchanges to be entrenched in instituti…
The Politics of Local Participatory Democracy in Latin America
Participatory democracy innovations aimed at bringing citizens back into local governance processes are now at the core of the international democratic development agenda. Municipalities around the world have adopted local participatory mechanisms of various types in the last two decades, including participatory budgeting, the flagship Brazilian program, and participatory planning, as it is the case in several Mexican municipalities. Yet, institu…
Deliberation for Reconciliation in Divided Societies
Engaging with the literature on deliberative democracy, this article contends that in the context of ethnic group hostilities, deliberative processes where participants have a genuine opportunity to communicate and ‘hear the other side’ can be a way for inter-group dialogue and reconciliation. Separating the deliberative process into three distinct moments, it offers a framework for understanding how unequal and conflicting parties may be brought…
The Politics of Local Participatory Democracy In Latin America
Participatory democracy institutional innovations aimed at bringing citizens back into local governance processes are now at the core of the international democratic development agenda. Around the world, and especially in Latin America, many local governments, from left and right, have implemented mechanisms to formally include citizens’ input in decision-making processes at the local level. How is the assumed democratization potential of partici…
Lula's Brazil and Beyond
After two successive presidential terms, the leader of the Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT) – the Workers’ Party – Luis Inacio Lula da Silva, left office in 2011. After his first electoral victory in 2002, many observers of the Brazilian political arena expected a radical shift in the country’s public policies towards the left. These expectations were rapidly toned down by the moderate nature of the policies and changes implemented under Lula’s fir…

Overcoming Clientelism through Local Participatory Institutions in Mexico
This article addresses the relationship between institutionalized citizen participation at the municipal level and clientelism. It argues, contrary to what the literature has suggested, that the institutionalization of local citizen participation does not necessarily lead to the erosion of clientelism. Drawing on a comparative case study of participatory experiences in two Mexican municipalities, León and Nezahualcóyotl, this study argues that pa…

Democratizing Local Governance? The Ley de Participación Popular and the Social Construction of Citizenship in Bolivia
The article develops a theoretical framework to analyse the social construction of citizenship at the local level in Bolivia through the Ley de Participación Popular (LPP). It explains how decentralization at the municipal level and the introduction of participatory mechanisms affect the development of civil society in Bolivia. I argue that decentralization at the city level can provide new formal spaces for the development of civil society in re…

When Clients Become Collective Actors
P olitical clientelism is traditionally defined as a vertical relationship based on an informal and unequal exchange of private goods for political favors where the client (often the poor/vulnerable citizen) is maintained in a position of weakness through his dependence on the patron (the powerful politician/political broker) for access to the basic rights of citizenship. Public goods are distributed according to political loyalty, an exchange ba…
Innovation démocratique ou continuité des pratiques ? Le cas du PRD et des conseils de participation citoyenne à Nezahualcóyotl1
Cet article s’intéresse à la relation entre la présence de mécanismes formels de participation citoyenne et la nature des relations État-société dans le contexte du processus de démocratisation mexicain, par le biais de l’étude des comités de participation citoyenne (COPACI) mise en place en 1996 par le Parti de la révolution démocratique (PRD) à Nezahualcóyotl, dans l’État du Mexique. S’inscrivant au coeur des débats théoriques actuels sur la dé…
