Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: The creation of formal institutional mechanisms to facilitate the participation of ordinary citizens in the allocation of sub-national budgets - broadly referred to as "participatory budgeting" - is now a widespread and mainstream practice in much of the Global South. While proponents have hailed participatory budgeting as a sign of democratic deepening and as evidence of deliberative democracy in practice, critics have drawn attention to the role of the World Bank and Northern aid agencies in the promotion of participatory budgets and assert that they are part of an effort to construct neoliberal hegemony through very limited forms of popular consultation. Still other critics point to participatory budgets as examples of governmentality, following Foucault. This paper, based on particapant observation research in particpatory budgets in Bolivia, Ecuador and Peru between 1999 and 2007, argues that the analyses of neither the proponents nor the critics of participatory budgets fully capture the internal dynamics of popular engagement in local budgeting. Adopting an anthropological perspective, the paper asserts that participatory budgets are not fully tools of either democratization or neoliberal governmentality. Rather, the participants in participatory budget processes in the three Andean countries strategically manipulate participatory spaces to pursue their own individual livelihood strategies, often mixing democratic rhetoric with patrimonial practice.
