Abstract: The Orçamento Participativo was created in Porto Alegre in 1989. From then until now the OP has been globalized, so we find experiences in all five continents. The success achieved by the Porto Alegre experience has led governments of countries with cultural and political traditions very different entering the PB in their localities. However, the Brazilian OP has gradually transformed in that journey and it has been implemented according to the local contexts. We wonder what exactly has traveled, as well as the impact and success of the Participatory Budgenting beyond Brazil. To answer these questions we propose a debate on four experiences of four different continents: USA, Europe (Italy), Africa (DR Congo) and China. Thus, we could see the meaning of the globalization of a specific local experience and its different outcomes in political and cultural different contexts.
