Chapter Chapter 5 in Empowerment Through Agency Enhancement, 2022, pp 65-88 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The author first reviews literature on empowerment and agency to develop a theoretical framework for the agency development process and identifies black boxes of the theories. The author also clarifies the three critical factors for analyzing a case study. Subsequently, a development project is described in detail, one that was implemented with the particular purpose of enhancing the agency of the marginalized. Thirdly, the case is analyzed to understand the black boxes in the theoretical framework, focusing on (1) context specific factors, (2) development of an agency development project, and (3) the possible mechanisms in the agency development of community members for enhancing each type of power (power from within, power with, power to, and power over).
