In Chapter 3 I argued and found support for the claim that participants in PB report higher levels of individual and collective agency vis-à-vis non-participants. More surprisingly, I also found that non-participants who were aware of the PB assemblies of their respective communities, reported higher levels of collective agency than those who were not aware of the meetings. My methodology was to use survey data pertaining to four municipalities in the Dominican Republic (SDE and STI as the PB cities, and SDO and LVG as the non-PB cities) and apply diverse forms of regression analysis.
