Power Position

Despite the celebratory approach towards community participation in peace-building, less attention has been placed on the participatory process itself, leaving ambiguous how, and to what degree, power is actually redistributed in these processes. This article aims to address this gap by further developing Torre’s concept of the participatory contact zone. This notion first structures a mapping of Cypriot bi-communal education-related projects (2010-2015) and then supports an in-depth analysis of one project, the Cyprus Friendship Program (CFP). This case study uses Carpentier’s four-level, twelve-step model for participatory analysis to scrutinize the participatory intensity of the CFP’s organizational processes, focusing on the power position of the involved youngsters. It shows that teenagers participate in the CFP at varying degrees: While their power position on a more structural level is limited, there are three areas where these youngsters become more empowered: Co-organization (at lower levels), the teamwork during activities and the development of new initiatives.

Step Model

The Alcoholics Anonymous twelve-step model was developed to help a specific population of white, middle-class, heterosexual men with a specific problem: alcoholism. As the program is applied to a wider variety of issues, with diverse populations, the model's generalizability has been called into question. Its applicability to outgroups is, at best, uncertain. At worst, the addiction model and its notion of powerlessness could have serious negative consequences. Until now, there has been scant research on the effect of using the program with marginalized people. Because of difficulties accessing these populations, the present study used innovative qualitative research methods to answer questions about the consequences of membership in twelve-step programs for a marginalized group: African-American women. This paper documents some of the problems that can occur when a program designed to solve a specific problem among a hegemonic group is used to address everyday activities of marginalized people.
