DEVELOPMENT AS EMPOWERMENT
在阿马蒂亚·森的能力方法基础上，探讨社会权力如何影响个人机会不平等，并提出与能力方法一致的权力观，为政策评估提供新标准。
Amartya Sen's capability approach to human welfare recognizes the impact of social institutions on human capabilities. But as an evaluative framework, it does not analyze the role of institutionalized power in causing or perpetuating inequalities in individual opportunities to achieve. Drawing on authors who are receptive to the capability approach and who have examined the political aspects of advancing human capabilities, this paper presents a view of social power and its exercise that is congruent with the capability approach. This examination of power continues the exploration of intergroup relationships that Sen has advocated, and it can be expected to yield new criteria for policy evaluation as well as new policy options.
