WEB REVIEW

摘要

Powercube is a wide-ranging website (an earlier version, usefully provided in pdf format, runs to over 100 pages) outlining a method of analysing power in its different dimensions, together with a range of tools and resources for using this analysis in teaching and practice situations. The project apparently relies on funding from the Swedish and Swiss aid budgets, and the UK budget through Development Research Centre on Citizenship, Participation and Accountability. The material itself, going by the acknowledgements in the text version and the resources, seems to have been primarily developed through work with international development NGOs, in particular Oxfam, Christian Aid and the Carnegie Trust, as well as other smaller organisations and students. It is oriented in particular towards the problems of relatively isolated, issue-focused campaigning groups seeking the ear of local, national or international policy-makers.
