- Abstract
The article discusses the results of a review of the evidence on community empowerment conducted by De Montfort University and University of Southampton and commissioned by the British Department for communities and Local Government. It identified key factors that drive empowerment across specific mechanisms, namely, asset transfer, citizen governance, electronic participation, participatory budgeting, petitions and redress. It was found that these mechanisms have the ability to empower participants and those who influence and shape decision making.
