本文探索了参与式发展和研究的权力维度，并试图探讨社区和机构内部的权力转变，而这些转变是参与式思想发挥作用所必需的。这本书的目的是把理论和实践联系起来。它着眼于参与性发展工作的理论基础，借鉴人类学、发展研究和女权主义的相关辩论。参与式研究技术的案例研究来自遥远的马里发展剧院和英国无家可归者的视频制作网站。进一步的章节研究了研究人员或开发代理人相对于社区的相对权力。在回顾了社区内的参与性研究和发展之后，这本书通过质疑机构以参与性方式运作所需的权力转移来扩展辩论。这本书的目的是为学术界、学生和所有参与发展研究、人类学和社会学课程的人提供帮助。此外，它应证明对全世界参与式发展或研究倡议的机构和从业人员有用。
This text is an exploration of the power dimensions of participatory development and research, and an attempt to look at the shifts in power within communities and institutions which are needed for participatory ideas to be effective. The aim of the book is to connect theory and practice. It looks at the theoretical basis to participatory development work, drawing on related debates in anthropology, development studies and feminism. Case studies of participatory research techniques are drawn from sites as far apart as development theatre in Mali and video-making with homeless people in the UK. Further chapters examine the relative power of the researcher or development agent vis-a-vis the community. After reviewing participatory research and development within communities, the book extends the debate by questioning the shifts in power needed if institutions are to operate in a participatory manner. This text is intended to be of use to academics, students, and all involved with courses in development studies, anthropology and sociology. In addition it should prove useful to agencies and practitioners involved in participatory-style development or research initiatives world-wide.
