Abstract

This article proposes a literature review of the work on the national level, about the experiences of the Participatory Budget. It has been aimed at understanding the dimension of the Participatory Budget, with regard to the design, experience, social participation in this process, its limits and possibilities. As a theoretical basis for the Participatory Budget was taken as basis the approach presented in the eight articles. The results achieved showed that even the Participatory Budget with wide-scale democratic innovation at the national level, is limited in its foundation and survival in the cities, because they depend on the political actors.
