Abstract
Analyses the current focus on empowerment by tracing the changing contours of involvement and participation, both in organizations and in contemporary debate. Based on the changes in involvement strategies – the move from indirect to direct participation and the move from collective representation to individualized involvement and consultation – argues that the logic underpinning interest in empowerment is disempowering.
