Governments often adapt PB's basic program design to meet local needs, thus creating wide variation in how PB programs function. Some programs retain features of radical democracy, others focus on community mobilization, and yet other programs seek to promote participatory development. \u003cem\u003eParticipatory Budgeting in Global Perspective\u003c\/em\u003e provides a theoretical and empirical explanation to account for widespread variation in PB's adoption, adaptation, and impacts. This book develops six \"PB types\" to account for the wide variation in how PB programs function as well as the outcomes they produce. To illustrate the similar patterns across the globe, four empirical chapters present a rich set of case studies that illuminate the wide differences among these programs; chapters are organized regionally, with chapters on Latin America, Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, Europe, and North America. By organizing the chapters regionally, it becomes clear that there are temporal, spatial, economic, and organizational factors that produce different programs across regions, but similar programs within each region. A key empirical finding is that the change in PB rules and design is now leading to significant differences in the outcomes these programs produce. We find that some programs successfully promote accountability, expand civil society, and improve well-being but, too often, researchers do not have any evidence tying PB to significant social or political change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrian Wampler, \u003cem\u003eProfessor of Political Science and Global Studies, School of Public Service, Boise State University\u003c\/em\u003e, Stephanie McNulty, \u003cem\u003eAssociate Professor of Government, Franklin and Marshall College\u003c\/em\u003e, Michael Touchton, \u003cem\u003eAssociate Professor of Political Science and Faculty Lead for Global Health, University of Miami Institute for Advanced Study of the Americas, University of Miami\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Dr. Brian Wampler is a Professor of Political Science and Global Studies in the School of Public Service at Boise State University.
