GARCIA BATIZ, María Luisa  and  TELLEZ ARANA, Luis. Participatory budgeting: A review of its study and development in Mexico. Perf. latinoam. [online]. 2018, vol.26, n.52. ISSN 0188-7653.  https://doi.org/10.18504/pl2652-012-2018.

The growing expansion of participatory budgeting (PB) registered since the eighties in different local governments around the world, has been of great interest to the international academic community; nevertheless, the experiences of PB in Mexico do not have a systematic analysis of their development and behavior. Therefore, the evolution of PB in Mexico is studied. In order to understand the introduction and permanence of the PB, some socioeconomic and institutional contextual factors and the dynamics of participation of the PB are examined. Finally, challenges of the experiences and working hypothesis are identified.

Keywords : Participatory budgeting; citizen participation; Mexican local governments; participatory democracy; democratic innovations; local public policy; Mexico.
