What is Open Budgets : The Political Economy of Transparency, Participation, and Accountability about?

A Brookings Institution Press and Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation publicationDecisions about'who gets what, when, and how'are perhaps the most important that any government must make. So it should not be remarkable that around the world, public officials responsible for public budgeting are facing demandsfrom their own citizenry, other government officials, economic actors, and increasingly from international sourcesto make their patterns of spending more transparent and their processes more participatory.Surprisingly, rigorous analysis of the causes and consequences of fiscal transparency is thin at best. Open Budgets seeks to fill this gap in existing knowledge by answering a few broad questions: How and why do improvements in fiscal transparency and participation come about? How are they sustained over time? When and how do increased fiscal transparency and participation lead to improved government responsiveness and accountability?Contributors: Steven Friedman (Rhodes University/University of Johannesburg); Jorge Antonio Alves (Queens College, CUNY) and Patrick Heller (Brown University); Jong-sung You (University of CaliforniaSan Diego) and Wonhee Lee (Ha
