本文追溯了几个世纪以来赋权概念和实践的演变，它被激进的社会运动所采用，尤其是20世纪70年代以来的妇女运动，以及到20世纪90年代末，它变成了一个流行语。本文将分析置于印度妇女赋权干预的背景下，描述了挑战社会权力最深层结构的过程的非政治化和颠覆的动态。研究和分析了国家政策中“缩小”和限制这一概念，在实地取消对真正赋权战略的资助，以及用小额信贷和政治配额代替赋权。
This article traces the centuries-long evolution of the concept and practice of empowerment, its adoption by radical social movements, especially women's movements from the 1970s onwards, and its conversion, by the late 1990s, into a buzzword. Situating the analysis in the context of women's empowerment interventions in India, the article describes the dynamic of the depoliticisation and subversion of a process that challenged the deepest structures of social power. The 'downsizing' and constriction of the concept within state policy, the de-funding of genuine empowerment strategies on the ground, and the substitution of microfinance and political quotas for empowerment are examined and analysed.
