这本文集的撰稿人研究了世界银行庞大的官僚机构，并探讨了世界银行内部产生变革的可能性。本书重点讨论了世界银行内部关于社会资本概念在鼓励更具参与性和增强权能的发展形式方面的效力的辩论。这些争论触及了世行及其使命的核心。事实上，关于社会资本的辩论与其说是关于定义的争论，不如说是相互竞争的发展范式之间的斗争。《寻求赋权》同时也是对社会资本概念的引人入胜的描述，是对一个巨大的发展组织的有力的民族志，也是对官僚主义和组织变革本质的深刻而有见地的探索。
The contributors to this collection examine the vast bureaucracy of the World Bank and explore the possibilities of internally generated change within the World Bank. The book focuses on the debates within the Bank about the efficacy of social capital concepts for the encouragement of more participatory and empowering forms of development. These debates reach to the heart of the bank and its mission. Indeed, the debate over social capital is less an argument about definitions, and more a struggle between competing paradigms of development. "The Search for Empowerment" is simultaneously a fascinating account of the concept of social capital, a powerful ethnography of a huge development organization, and a profoundly insightful exploration into the nature of bureaucracy and organizational change.
