The global turn towards knowledge societies indicates that within contemporary processes of globalization, knowledge has become the major factor of present and future social change. As creators of a special institutionalized frame of interaction, women in Ghana have organized themselves from the rural village to the national level and beyond, by using the worldwide women's web. Within these glocalized links related to different locations of knowledge production, new knowledge repertoires are constantly built up, connecting everyday knowledge with scientific knowledge and with global discourses. The formation of an epistemic culture on development is connected with a critical discourse on gender relations in societal institutions. Women are expanding their spaces by politicizing knowledge, and, on the local level, by bridging old spaces in filling them with new elements aiming at social transformations. The enquiry focuses on the newly evolving spaces of negotiation of knowledge, such as meetings, forums, conferences and networking, which are spaces of knowledge circulation, distribution, articulation and politicization across distances
