There have been few analyses that discuss how power relations present in participatory budgeting (PB) may hinder or facilitate the future of PB. Drawing from PB examples in the United States we discuss the importance of power and positionality analyses during PB stages with the most deliberative participation for community members: forming steering committees, holding local assemblies, and selecting budgets. We discuss power struggles that stem from the lack of transparency in establishing budgets and representing implicated actors in communities. We discuss the importance of analyzing the positionality of municipal actors and community members throughout the life of PB projects. The paper ends by suggesting lessons that future PB initiatives can glean from community-based participatory research (CBPR) in public health, specifically, engaging in co-learning processes, capacity building among all partners, and the equitable distribution of resources between communities. These CBPR principles may facilitate countering narratives about community participation and foment institutional change in the ways local jurisdictions allocate PB budgets and prioritize policy agendas.

参与式预算中的权力和地位

很少有分析讨论参与式预算 (PB) 中的权力关系如何阻碍或促进 PB 的未来。借鉴美国的 PB 示例,我们讨论了 PB 阶段权力和位置分析的重要性,社区成员最慎重地参与:组建指导委员会、召开地方议会和选择预算。我们讨论了由于在制定预算和代表社区中涉及的行为者方面缺乏透明度而产生的权力斗争。我们讨论了在 PB 项目的整个生命周期中分析市政参与者和社区成员的位置的重要性。该论文最后提出了未来的 PB 计划可以从公共卫生领域的社区参与式研究 (CBPR) 中汲取的经验教训,具体而言,参与共同学习过程、所有合作伙伴之间的能力建设以及社区之间资源的公平分配。这些 CBPR 原则可能有助于反驳关于社区参与的叙述,并在地方司法管辖区分配 PB 预算和优先政策议程的方式中引发制度变革。
