The 17th Global Classroom Virtual Conference:
Cultural Geographic Indicators: Developing Countries

The 17th Global Classroom Virtual Conference examines critical issues of trade, environment and conflict, as always, but also adds a special focus on cultural geographic indicators. 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".
