=========== 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........
