在世界各地，公民参与政策和治理进程的新空间和机会正在涌现。然而，参与的机会不会自动转化为变革的空间。这在很大程度上取决于围绕和注入它们的权力动态，塑造谁参与，在哪里和以什么结果。以史蒂文·卢克斯(1974)最初阐述的权力的“三个维度”为基础，本文认为，权力的这些维度或形式也必须与如何创造接触的空间以及它们发生的地方(从本地到全球)有关。将其中的每一个--权力的空间、地点和形式--理解为相互关联的维度，每个维度至少有三个组成部分，这些维度在视觉上和分析上联系在一起，形成一个“权力立方体”。文章认为，这一框架可以用来评估在各种情况下采取变革性行动的可能性。
Around the world, new spaces and opportunities are emerging for citizen engagement in policy and governance processes. Yet opportunities for participation do not automatically translate into spaces for change. Much depends on the power dynamics that surround and infuse them, shaping who participates, where and with what result. Building on previous work based on the 'three dimensions' of power originally elaborated by Steven Lukes (1974), this article argues that these dimensions or forms of power must also be understood in relation to how spaces for engagement are created and the places (from local to global) in which they occur. Understanding each of these - the spaces, places and forms of power - as themselves interrelated dimensions, each of which has at least three components within them, these dimensions are visually and analytically linked together in a 'power cube'. This framework, the article argues, can be used to assess the possibilities of transformative action in various settings.
