The stakes have never been higher. Recent years have seen a rapid escalation of inequalities, the rise of new global powers and corporate interests, increasing impunity of human rights violations, suppression of civil society, and a re-shaping of democratic processes by post-truth, populist and nationalist politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRather than looking at power through the lenses of agency or structure alone, this book views power and empowerment as complex and multidimensional societal processes, defined by pervasive social norms, conditions, constraints and opportunities. Bridging theory and practice, the book explores real-world applications using a selection of frameworks, tools, case studies, examples, resources and reflections from experience to support actors to analyse their positioning and align themselves with progressive social forces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompiled with social change practitioners, students and scholars in mind, \u003ci\u003ePower, Empowerment and Social Change \u003c\/i\u003eis the perfect volume for anyone involved in politics, international development, sociology, human rights and environmental justice who is looking for fresh insights for transforming power in favour of relatively less powerful people.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRosemary McGee\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Senior Research Fellow in the Power and Popular Politics Cluster, Institute of Development Studies, University of Sussex, UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJethro Pettit is a freelance consultant, facilitator and former Director of Teaching and Learning at the Institute of Development Studies at the University of Sussex, UK\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 258\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 9.3 x 6.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 06, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42127511355527,"sku":"9781138575318","price":89.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/7c1388faa642e1ee179cbaba1c509bf9.webp?v=1732589055","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/power-empowerment-and-social-change-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
