Abstract
ABSTRACT Participatory budgets have played a key role in the field of democratic 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.
