CEBRAP and IDS Strategic Policy-Learning Initiative presents its Participatory Governance Studies booklet on confronting the challenges of representation in participative spaces

The Centro Brasileiro de Análise e Planejamento (CEBRAP) in partnership with the Institute of Development Studies (IDS - England) presented, at the end of 2008, a booklet in Portuguese entitled “Enfrentando os desafios da representação em espaços participativos” (Facing the Challenges of Representation in Participative Governance).

The booklet is based on the results of detailed research conducted in the city of São Paulo and guides civil society and government policy actors through a nuanced discussion of the types of representation civil organizations provide in participatory governance institutions

It highlights the challenge to democratic legitimacy and accountability that these new types of representation have inadvertently created, and provides materials for debate on possible mechanisms that would enhance the legitimacy and quality of this representation.
