Abstract

When did PB move from a local experience, with a few replications abroad, to a policy of mass global diffusion? This is the main question addressed in this chapter. It explores how four international institutions—the World Social Forum, the United Nations, the European Union and the World Bank—were engaged in the diffusion of PB. The chapter analyses how PB got onto the agenda of each institution and how it was translated to the political view of each one, changing from a radical experience of democracy defended at the World Social Forum to an important instrument of urban management and social accountability for the UN and the World Bank.
