Change and discontinuity? The Participatory Budget in the political agenda of Porto Alegre (RS), Brazil
Abstract
This article aims to analyze how the Participatory Budget is positioned in the government plans of the candidates for the municipal executive of Porto Alegre in the election of 2016. For that, we carry out a research of qualitative approach with descriptive purpose. The main strategy for collecting and analyzing information was the documental research. The theoretical basis was based on the constitutive bibliography of the public policy cycle, with special attention to the agenda setting theory, as well as the literature on social participation derived from the theory of democracy. In our categorization the topic was classified as "relevant" in six government plans, "intermediate" in two and "indifferent" in only one of the documents analyzed. These data allow us to infer that, at least in terms of electoral proposals, social participation with OP is still predominantly relevant, although we criticize the form of its expression in the plans.
