Rezensionen

Makus Holdo's superb book shows how participatory institutions can be useful to contest urban power relations. Delving deeply into concrete practices of participatory budgeting, he brilliantly explores the constraints that global and financialized capitalism imposes over local politics. At the same time, Holdo illustrates how people take advantage of participatory reforms, renegotiate the terms of their involvement, and dispute the established political boundaries.
