Timely and unique, this innovative volume provides a critical
examination of the role of civil society and its relation to the state
throughout left-led Latin America. Featuring a broad range of case
studies from across the region, from the Bolivian Constitution to
participative budgeting in Brazil to the communal councils in
Venezuela, the book examines to what extent these new initiatives are
redefining state-civil society relations. Does the return of an active
state in Latin America imply the incorporation of civil society
representatives in decision-making processes? Is the new left
delivering on the promise of participatory democracy and a
redefinition of citizenship, or are we witnessing a new democratic
deficit? A wide-ranging analysis of a vital issue, both for Latin
America and beyond.
