Abstract

In the recent years participatory budgeting has become a central issue in the local governance debates. Nevertheless, little focus has been made on one of its most important dimensions: its sustainability. This paper analyses this issue through a case study of one of those experiences, Logroño’s Presupuesto Ciudadano. Our paper combines both an empirical part —which includes the main data of the experience— plus a theoretical reflection on the way the changes in the municipal government have influenced the development of the experience, based on several indicators.
