23. A.J.R. Groom and K. Webb (1987) define empowerment as the following: "Empowerment may be defined as a third party activity of conferring power on a weaker party in a conflict perceived as asymmetric with the aim of making the weaker party a 'realistic' negotiating power''. A.J.R. Groom and Webb, Keith: "Injus tice, Empowerment, and Facilitation in Conflict", International Interactions, vol.13.no.3. This also raises the issue of disempowerment of the stronger side rath er than empowerment of the weaker. It may be more effective to actually disem power both sides, although it is likely that reducing (and increasing) power may be very difficult to achieve.
