- Processos Participativos nas Políticas Públicas em PortugalPublication . Falanga, RobertoTem-se assistido, nas últimas décadas, ao aparecimento de novas formas de participação na construção de políticas públicas, as quais têm vindo a ser introduzidas em agendas de governos locais e supralocais a nível mundial. comum aos processos participativos é a promoção de espaços de encontros legitimados pelos poderes governamentais, que têm como objetivo envolver toda a sociedade civil, ou alguns grupos dela, na construção de soluções para os problemas de governança. A grande diversidade de processos em curso a nível mundial, necessita da maior atenção da comunidade científica e de uma contribuição para ter ferramentas de leitura adequadas para a sua análise. Para o efeito, o capítulo proporciona primeiro uma visão de enquadramento sobre a participação nas políticas públicas, com referência a temas debatidos na literatura científica internacional. O foco no contexto português, permite levantar questões relativas à vasta difusão de processos participativos no país, juntamente com a manutenção de um sentimento de desconfiança nos mecanismos da democracia representativa. À luz destas reflexões, o capítulo apresenta finalmente uma aproximação à leitura analítica dos processos participativos, como forma de contribuir para o debate científico, assim como ferramenta para representantes políticos, técnicos e demais cidadãos envolvidos nestes Processos
- Scaling participatory budgets. Pitfalls and potentialities from multiple scales in PortugalPublication . Falanga, RobertoParticipatory budgets have played a key role in the field of demo-cratic innovations. Portugal is considered as a case for holding one of the highest rates of local participatory budgets and pioneered national and regional initiatives. Such a patchwork raises interest in the ways in which Participatory Budgets function on multiple scales. In-depth examination of institutions, constituencies, and policy areas helps unveil evident pitfalls and emerging potentialities. Against pitfalls, this article acknowledges emerging potentialities in establishing agreements between institutions to improve the efficiency of public funding allocation; intermediary bodies to increase inclusion of citizens; and combined policy areas to foster the synergy among Participatory Budgets.

Falanga, Roberto; Tulumello, Simone; Inch, Andy; Alves, Ana Rita; Jorge, Sílvia; Kühne, Jannis; Silva, RitaThe Caravana pelo Direito à Habitação travelled across Portugal together with local groups and associations to collect information on and give visibility to housing needs, while aiming to create new networks and influence the national political agenda. This conversation brings together seven scholar-activists that participated in the Caravana, who reflect upon the Caravana and contemporary struggles on the right to housing in Portugal. The conversation sheds light on some contentious issues that are presented through a selection of relevant excerpts, which cover personal identities as scholar-activists; contexts shaping contemporary housing struggles; and the relation of the Caravana to the the politics of housing in Portugal.

- The cost of participation: An analysis of the financial dimensions of participatory budgets in PortugalPublication . Bogo, Rodrigo Sartori; Falanga, RobertoParticipatory budgeting (PB) is a democratic innovation that allows citizens to deliberate about a share of the public budget. Portugal was one of the most influent countries in this field in the last decade, as PB was implemented at multiple levels. However, few studies have made in-depth research on the financial dimensions of PB, which raises interest as to whether and how citizens' voice has had a significant impact on policy-making. To fill in this gap, this article considers the financial asset of local, regional, and national PBs in Portugal up to the disruption of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our methodological approach relies on both quantitative data analyzed through Geographical Information Systems and descriptive statistics, and qualitative data retrieved from document analysis. Findings are discussed through four different stages of dissemination in the country, and show that despite significant advancements in this field, impacts in the financial dimensions lay behind expectations.
