1. __Why does resources transfer often fail and how it can be made more effective?__ -What are the processes by which resource transfer takes place and what constrains it? --Where has most of your work on development taken place? What led you to do so much of your work in that location? -What are the differences in effectiveness of internal and external advocacy in development? --How deeply do you immerse yourself (or believe people should immerse themselves) in a local culture before providing locals with a solution to whatever you are advocating to solve? Do groups of people contact you for help or do you contact them to show them how they can benefit? -What are the benefits of action and inaction in successfully transferring various resources and solving social problems? --Have you come across any situation in which you felt it would help people more to do nothing at all then to encourage resource transfer of some kind? Have you done anything in the projects you worked on to preserve the local culture and if so, how do you ensure this? -Under what conditions are resources transfers considered a success? --Is there follow up after a project (or various other form of resource transfer) you generally take part in and if so, what form does this usually take? -How does the number of approaches that can be considered solutions affect how lasting and effective resource transfer is? --Do you advocate for a single solution or many possible ones when it is determined that interaction is beneficial?

2. __Create new knowledge about how the political, economic, social, or environmental cause that a problem is defined by limits the ways in which it can be effectively solved.__ -How does who perceives the need for the dissemination of a resource determine the effectiveness of resource transfer? --What professional and educational background led to your work in field of globalization and development? What institutions and societal constructs control the transfer of resources? What types of institutions do you believe should govern the development of countries obtaining aid from more developed ones? How does the moral foundation for living properly evolve and why is the spread of these beliefs so important and the moral implications to social majority? How do hierarchies of need contribute to the lack of effective dissemination? -What is the overall effectiveness of the clean cookstove movement within the context of the free market system and how does the different ways of conceptualizing what is allowed between borders economically and for the sake of development leads to effective or ineffective transfer? --Which efficient stove technologies are the most important to disseminate and why? -Can religious belief be disassociated from perceiving right and wrong practice in resource transfer? --How do you draw the line between what you believe people should have and do and what they should be allowed to choose? -How do perceived physical limits alter the reality of what success entails? --Do you consider the physical resource limits of an area before implementing a plan for a project or giving advice to people of that area? -How are differences in resource use by the groups advocating transfer different then what they advocate to others and does this harm effective transfer? --What types of technologies have you advocated to solve problems with development? Do you use these technologies yourself in your day-to-day life?

3. __Create new knowledge about__ __what kinds of technology transfer should be allowed for sustainable and environmentally just development.__ -What transfers of ideas, materials and technological systems are appropriate given the context of introduction? --Do you feel that any level of dependency is created when some form of institution seeks to help an impoverished local community? How do you decide where projects or information dissemination is needed? -On what scales is resource transfer appropriate and on what levels of social hierarchy do more sustainable technologies need to be accepted in order for their transfer to be complete and successful? --One what scale is transfer of various recourses most important to achieve the goals of globalization and development? -What approaches to resource transfer should continue and are there some approaches that should be done away with all together? --What is the most effective system of resource transfer in your opinion and why? -What global regulations and understandings would be conducive to regions prosperity? --Would global regulations hinder the market economy if all they sought to do was to limit the market in the same way more developed countries already limit their economies?
