Exactly.
That means knowing the issues:
Gender and trade.
Industrial Ecology-Materials flows.
Comparative approaches to unit-labor costs and how that relates to models of exploitation.
Global logistics and pollution/energy consumption modeling.
Credit markets and how that process leaves technological/ecological choices in the hands of unaccountable elites.
Knowing the ins and outs of corporate law on an international level.
Knowing who's working on alternative models of:
Food distribution/security
Health care access and how that enables gender equity--Childcare...
Access to water
Access to knowledge/databases for community activism/participation in economic decision-making
Alternative models of technology transfer and how property rights are barriers to same.
Dismantling the rhetoric's of militarism/paranoia.
So much more........
