Title
Applying Power Analysis: Using the ‘Powercube’ to explore forms, levels and spaces
Abstract
In a complex, globalised and rapidly changing world, power dynamics are multidimensional,
constantly evolving, and full of complexity. The ‘powercube’ (Gaventa, 2006) is an approach to
power analysis which can be used to examine the multiple forms, levels and spaces of power, and
their interactions. Building on earlier work on power, and elaborated and popularised in
collaboration with other colleagues through the web site powercube.net and numerous other
resources, the powercube has been widely used around the world for analysis of power, education
and awareness building, context analysis, programme and strategy development, and monitoring
and evaluation. This article briefly outlines the evolution of the powercube, and provides examples
of the issue areas in which it has been used, and for what purposes. Drawing on these, we then offer
eight lessons of how to apply the powercube framework for analysing and transforming power
relations.
