> and within them), and how these new technologies can create
> possibilities to protect livelihoods and defend human rights,
> particularly in developing and transitional countries. The
> conference will promote discussion of concrete case studies, as well
> as broader debate on patterns of global structural change.
> Participants will be drawn from multilateral and bilateral agencies,
> the computer and telecommunications industry, NGOs, CBOs and
> academia.
