Brazil, and in particular its famous city of Porto Alegre, is becoming known all over the world for its experiments in redistributive democracy. "Radicals in Power" provides an account of the innovative policies introduced over the past 20 years by the Workers Party of Brazil (PT) at state level, in big city administrations and medium-sized urban centres. It explains how a non-dogmatic leftwing Brazil, and in particular its famous city of Porto Alegre, is becoming known all over the world for its experiments in redistributive democracy. "Radicals in Power" provides an account of the innovative policies introduced over the past 20 years by the Workers Party of Brazil (PT) at state level, in big city administrations and medium-sized urban centres. It explains how a non-dogmatic leftwing political movement has instituted innovative experiments to involve ordinary citizens, especially the socially disadvantaged, in local policy choices and fiscal allocation decisions, and to achieve social redistribution and justice. At a time when conventional representative democratic institutions are experiencing declining voter turnouts in most countries, the PT's programme has a potentially huge significance for the renewal of democratic government worldwide. Little wonder that political parties and city administrations in Latin America and further afield are flocking to Brazil to learn from this extraordinarily important experiment.
