the evidence on effectiveness of empowerment to improve health? February 2006 ABSTRACT This is a Health Evidence Network (HEN) synthesis report on the effectiveness of empowerment strategies to improve health and reduce health disparities. The report shows that empowering initiatives can lead to health outcomes and that empowerment is a viable public health strategy. The key message from this review is that empowerment is a complex strategy that sits within complex environments. Effective empowerment strategies may depend as much on the agency and leadership of the people involved, as the overall context in which they take place. HEN, initiated and coordinated by the WHO Regional Office for Europe, is an information service for public health and health care decision-makers in the WHO European Region. Other interested parties might also benefit from HEN. This HEN evidence report is a commissioned work and the contents are the responsibility of the authors. They do not necessarily reflect the official policies of WHO/Europe. The reports were subjected to international review, managed by the HEN team.

portal from one understanding to another. A clue to the meaning of Blue Hand is found in the meditation, "I am, by thinly veiled design, the threshold to other dimensions.

Blue Hand is seen as a closure, which is really an opening to another level of being.Like the fluidity of moving water, Blue…

(Krasner, 1983; Keohane, 1984, 1993a; “Promises, Promises,” 1995). At the same time, the rationalist core of this research has led it to skirt a key issue. When and under what conditions do norms shape the interests of states? (Keohane, 1993b:285; Anderson, 1995:463–64; Barnett, 1995:490–91; Finnemore, 1996a:ch. 1). While neoliberals and regime theorists do accord a role to norms, it is limited: they facilitate cooperation among self-interested actors. Norms constrain the behavior of…
