Participatory Innovation and Representative Democracy in Latin America assesses with expert eyes fascinating experiments... in giving citizens a greater voice in local government. -- Richard Feinberg Foreign Affairs Participatory Innovation and Representative Democracy in Latin America is an important contribution to expanding our knowledge of how participatory institutions emerge under less than ideal conditions and their implications for democratic processes. -- Stephanie L. Smith Governance

The sophisticated yet accessible conceptual framework is excellent, transcending widely held assumptions about the dichotomy between participatory and representative democracy. And in an area where most works focus specifically on one city, or one country, the cross-national comparative approach stands out as distinctive. This book is clearly a significant contribution. - Jonathan Fox, University of California, Santa Cruz
