New COMM-ORG papers--the last of the 2006 backlog

[Discussion list for COMM-ORG]

Hello COMM-ORG,

Your editor/moderator here,

At long last, I have caught up on the 2006 backlog of papers.  I am very 
pleased to announce the final two COMM-ORG 2006 papers:

The papers, from Just Associates, are:

Citizen Action, Knowledge and Global Economic Power: Intersections of 
Popular Education, Organizing, and Advocacy

by Lisa VeneKlasen and Darshana Patel

and
 
Strategic Opportunity or Black Hole?  Assessing Policy Spaces to Advance 
Women's Rights

by Lisa VeneKlasen

"Citizen Action, Knowledge and Global Economic Power" reports the 
results of an international workshop exploring how to democratize 
international economic policy and practice, with stories of those 
working on the ground.  It is illustrative in its focus on finding both 
a common language and diverse strategies.

"Strategic Opportunity or Black Hole?" is similarly international, but 
with a focus on women's issues.

You can find the papers at the COMM-ORG "Papers" page, in the 2006 section:

I hope that the papers inspire some discussion.  Authors contribute 
papers to COMM-ORG in the hopes of getting comments, so please feel 
welcomed to contact Lisa directly, or discuss these papers through the list.

Thanks so much to Just Associates for contributing this work.
