Accessing International Policy Diffusion

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
International Policy Diffusion and Participatory Budgeting

Part of the book series: Urban Politics in a Global Society ((UPGS))

Abstract

Brazil, as other countries from the South, imported many of its institutions and political models from abroad. However, in the past decades, this country made important innovations—such as Participatory Budgeting (PB)—thus becoming a “policy exporter”. This chapter introduces the reader to the main issues developed throughout the book. The literature on policy diffusion and PB is presented. The main argument—which asserts that the interaction between individuals and institutions (national and international) was a necessary condition to engender a process of legitimization and circulation of PB—is advanced. Finally, the strategy to access policy diffusion and the field research methodology is developed.
