Here are the newest case studies for the online journals Trade Environment Database (TED) and the Inventory of Conflict and Environment (ICE), that are announced as part of a virtual conference. The 13th Global Classroom Virtual Conference examines critical issues of trade and non-trade factors, as always, but also adds a special focus on conflict that has environmental roots. The TED cases revolve around some cutting edge issues that should or will be part of the discussions at WTO negotiations known as the "Doha Round". This round is the next benchmark for liberalizing trade issues in a multilateral forum, but many question the agree to which a critical examination of issues will be on the table.
These includes issues of trade and agriculture, water, and energy. The ICE cases vary in history and and issue, but are a rich diversify of ideas. If you have ideas of new TED or ICE case studies, please pass them along. You can send me comments or ideas about the papers at <jlee@american.edu>.
