Book excerpt: El Orcamento Participativo o Presupuesto Participativo es una metodologia de gestion publica presupuestaria que, en los ultimos veinte anos, se ha convertido en una practica innovadora y renovadora de la democracia y la calidad del gasto. Asi ha sido reconocido tanto por los organismos internacionales (ONU, Banco Mundial, Fondo Monetario Internacional) como por los gobiernos locales y nacionales de todos los continentes, que lo han adoptado y adaptado a sus propias caracteristicas. Porto Alegre, capital del Estado de Rio Grande do Sul (Brasil), es la gran referencia internacional de esta metodologia, al haber sido considerada una de las 42 mejores practicas de gestion urbana, en 1994, por la ONU, y por la gran difusion internacional que ha tenido (Foro Social). En Espana comienza a ponerse en marcha el Presupuesto Participativo en el ano 2001, aumentando su numero de una forma muy significativa a partir de las elecciones de 2007. En este libro se han recopilado diversos trabajos sobre los Presupuestos Participativos en Espana escritos desde diferentes enfoques y en diversas fechas, tanto individual como colectivamente, por los autores."

Book excerpt: "En 1989 los gobernantes de la ciudad de Porto Alegre crearon el presupuesto participativo como una forma de abrir la discusión del presupuesto municipal a la ciudadanía. Desde entonces la experiencia se ha expandido por el mundo. Este libro pretende hacer un recorrido analítico por la expansión de los presupuestos participativos en España, que empiezan a organizarse en ciudades de todo tamaño desde el año 2001, con el objetivo de comprender las claves de su difusión, así como su funcionamiento y sus límites en las democracias municipales españolas. Para ello, el presente estudio parte de una encuesta a los participantes de ocho experiencias con una muestra de más de 1.100 casos, además de un análisis de los procedimientos de más de 50 procesos existentes hasta el año 2010. Se realiza también un seguimiento de las dinámicas administrativas sobre las que se asienta la experiencia con el objetivo de comprender su impacto, así como su articulación con las administraciones. El trabajo permite afirmar que el impacto de los presupuestos participativos sobre los municipios es modesto, sin embargo, ha instaurado otra forma de pensar las relaciones entre gobernantes y gobernados más horizontal, que incorpora dinámicas deliberativas y sugiere un horizonte político distinto al que habitualmente ha estado presente en la realidad de los municipios españoles" (4ème de couv.).

This book was released on 2011 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ¿Qué son los Presupuestos Participativos? Con carácter general los Presupuestos Participativos constituyen una forma de participación de la ciudadanía en la gestión financiera a través de la elaboración del Presupuesto Público municipal. ¿Qué finalidad persiguen estos Presupuestos? En líneas generales el Presupuesto Participativo tiene como principal objetivo la participación directa de los vecinos al objeto de poder precisar las principales necesidades cotidianas de un determinado municipio o ciudad de cara a su inclusión dentro de su presupuesto anual, priorizando aquellas que resulten más importantes y realizando un seguimiento de los compromisos alcanzados. De este modo, además de entrar a decidir parte del presupuesto municipal, los Presupuestos Participativos pretenden promover que la ciudadanía no sea simple observadora de los acontecimientos y decisiones, pudiendo convertirse en protagonista activa de lo que ocurre en el municipio de que se trate, en aras de profundizar en el desarrollo de una democracia participativa, y la obtención de unas soluciones que se correspondan con las necesidades y deseos reales existentes en dicho municipio. Los Presupuestos Parcipativos constituyen una de las pocas experiencias de democracia directa que ha proporcionado resultados positivos en el ámbito de la Administración Local.

Book excerpt: «Los aires de la indignación frente a los abusos de un sistema presupuestario que esencialmente sirve para satisfacer el apetito voraz y sin límite de los “mercados” y garantizar ganancias obscenas a aquellos que ya tienen mucho más de lo que necesitan, continúan soplando y su energía, transformará la opresión en libertad, y no es casual, que mientras escribo este prólogo, en Estados Unidos, se esté creando una red ciudadana y una nueva institución sobre presupuestos participativos en 2011 (The Participatory Budgeting Project), cuya expresión la estamos viendo en la calle de Wall Street y los parques alrededor de la Casa Blanca, en Washington, los cuales están siendo ocupados por “indignados”, cada uno desde su realidad, pero a todos les unen las mismas ideas, y estoy seguro, que los presupuestos participativos, unido a un mayor control ciudadano de los presupuestos públicos serán uno de los grandes temas nuevos de discusión en el futuro para conseguir más equidad frente a la crisis». (Del prólogo a la 2a edición realizada por el Profesor Yves Cabannes, University College London. UK). «La administración participativa es una nueva forma de gobernar caracterizada por una mayor transparencia y más participación en la gestión de los recursos públicos. Es un “contrato social” entre el poder público municipal y la sociedad civil local, basado en la participación directa de los ciudadanos y cuya finalidad última es la toma de decisiones de acuerdo a criterios de justicia distributiva de los recursos públicos».

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can participatory budgeting help make public services really work for the public? Incorporating a range of experiments in ten different countries, this book provides the first comprehensive analysis of participatory budgeting in Europe and the effect it has had on democracy, the modernization of local government, social justice, gender mainstreaming and sustainable development. By focussing on the first decade of European participatory budgeting and analysing the results and the challenges affecting the agenda today it provides a critical appraisal of the participatory model. Detailed comparisons of European cases expose similarities and differences between political cultures and offer a strong empirical basis to discuss the theories of deliberative and participatory democracy and reveal contradictory tendencies between political systems, public administrations and democratic practices.

Download or read book Participatory Democratic Innovations in Europe written by Brigitte Geißel and published by Verlag Barbara Budrich. This book was released on 2013-11-20 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Representative democracy is often seen as a stable institutional system insusceptible to change. However, the preferences of the broad public are changing and representative, group based democracy has lost importance. This development made it necessary to change established ways of decision making and to introduce participatory democratic innovations. Many national and sub-national governments followed this route and implemented various kinds of participatory innovations, i.e. the inclusion of citizens into processes of political will-formation and decisionmaking. The authors analyse and evaluate the various effects of these innovations in Europe, providing a bigger picture of the benefits and disadvantages different democratic innovations can result in.

Book excerpt: Bringing together over forty established and emerging scholars, this landmark volume is the first to comprehensively examine the evolution and current practice of social movement studies in a specifically European context. While its first half offers comparative approaches to an array of significant issues and movements, its second half assembles focused national studies that include most major European states. Throughout, these contributions are guided by a shared set of historical and social-scientific questions with a particular emphasis on political sociology, thus offering a bold and uncommonly unified survey that will be essential for scholars and students of European social movements.
Download or read book Sociology of Discourse written by Óscar García Agustín and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2015-09-15 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sociology of Discourse takes the perspective that collective actors like social movements are capable of creating social change from below by creating new institutions through alternative discourses. Institutionalization becomes a process of moving away from existing institutions towards creating new ones. While discourses entail openness and enable the questioning of what is instituted, institutions offer continuity and stability to social mobilizations. This dual movement of openness and stabilization explains how social struggles ensure their continuity, without completely assuming the logic of the dominant order. The book proposes an analytical model of social change, which is unfolded through three intertwined areas: discourse, communication, and institution. Collective experiences of social change, from the anti-globalization movement to Occupy, illustrate the main theoretical points and concepts. Through the example of the Platform for People Affected by Mortgages, the book concludes by analyzing how social change from below is possible.
Download or read book Residential Capitalism written by Javier Moreno Zacarés and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-04-23 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last decade, Spain has become an emblem of the contradictory relationship between capitalism and housing. During the house-price boom of the 2000s, Spain built homes on an unprecedented scale, with output levels that overshadowed those of every major European economy. Nevertheless, when the fortunes of real estate markets turned, a wave of repossessions ensued, and a massive number of households were thrown out into the street as a sizeable portion of the housing stock was lying vacant. In turn, the implosion of Spanish residential capitalism triggered an intense wave of unrest that has come to shape a decade of political turmoil. This book uses the Spanish case to bring to light, and theorise, the workings of residential capitalism. The author traces the evolution of residential provision from the nineteenth century to the present, situating the transformation of the housing market in a context of ongoing social change and conflict. The book shows how the present needs to be understood by looking at the historical process through which residential provision became subsumed under the logic of capitalist accumulation but also at a long genealogy of struggles around urbanisation and housing, the outcomes of which remain crystallised in Spain’s urban institutions. The author reveals how both residential capitalist development and urban social conflict have constituted each another, casting light on the historical relationship between housing crises, urban unrest, and the evolution of real estate markets. The book develops a historicist framework to understand residential capitalism, an important contribution for an age in which real estate markets have come to determine the rhythms of global capital. Addressing key issues and debates in the field, including the financialisation of housing, the politics of scale and urban entrepreneurialism, the political economy of the Eurozone, and the history of capitalist development, this book will be of great interest to students and scholars of political economy, as well as those engaged in crossover fields such as housing studies, urban geography, or financial geography.

Download or read book Local Governance in Spain written by Ángel Iglesias Alonso and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-11-08 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book addresses in detail local governance in Spain. In recent decades, local governments in Europe have increasingly found themselves under pressure from a multitude of new challenges, such as demographic change, climate change, fiscal austerity policies, digitization, the demand for more citizen participation in local affairs, and the migration crisis in some of them, to name just a few. Consequently, a wave of political and administrative reforms to address these challenges, pressures and problems, has changed local governance in many countries. In part, these changes were the result of reform policies introduced by national and state governments, often triggered by austerity policies, which has become an overwhelming reality for Spanish local governments that have been forced to introduce innovations in local governance. This book aims to give an account of these innovations in local governance in Spain. This book considers the local political-administrative structure in its dimensions, focusing on the analysis of its party system, electoral competition and political behavior in the local arena, as well as on local finances, all of which are determining elements in urban and rural governance processes. On the occasion of the recent crisis unleashed by Covid-19, the book will also deal with local governance in crisis situations. The book will also contextualize local governance processes in Spain in relation to the trends in local governance observed in other European countries.

Download or read book Otherness in Hispanic Culture written by Teresa Fernandez Ulloa and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2014-06-26 with total page 615 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses contemporary discourses on a wide variety of topics related to the ideological and epistemological changes of the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries, and the ways in which they have shaped the Spanish language and cultural manifestations in both Spain and Hispanic America. The majority of the chapters are concerned with ‘otherness’ in its various dimensions; the alien Other – foreign, immigrant, ethnically different, disempowered, female or minor – as well as the Other of different sexual orientation and/or ideology. Following Octavio Paz, otherness is expressed as the attempt to find the lost object of desire, the frustrating endeavour of the androgynous Plato wishing to embrace the other half of Zeus, who in his wrath, tore off from him. Otherness compels human beings to search for the complement from which they were severed. Thus a male joins a female, his other half, the only half that not only fills him but which allows him to return to the unity and reconciliation which is restored in its own perfection, formerly altered by divine will. As a result of this transformation, one can annul the distance that keeps us away from that which, not being our own, turns into a source of anguish. The clashing diversity of all things requires the human predisposition to accept that which is different. Such a predisposition is an expression of epistemological, ethical and political aperture. The disposition to co-exist with the different is imagined in the de-anthropocentricization of the bonds with all living realms. And otherness is, in some way, the reflection of sameness (mismidad). The other is closely related to the self, because the vision of the other implies a reflection about the self; it implies, consciously or not, a relationship with the self. These topics are addressed in this book from an interdisciplinary perspective, encompassing arts, humanities and social sciences.
