CANCÚN

 

The tourist place known as Cancún has been widely praised and highly criticized since its inception.  Recently, on the occasion of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) gathering in September 2003, a highly critical article by Marc Cooper was published in The Nation.  To read this article, go to the following URL:
