Foreign Policy Toward Cuba ― Isolation or Engagement?

Zebich-Knos (political science and international affairs, Kennesaw State University) and Nicol (Canadian studies, U. of West Georgia) offer 13 essays for scholars and students on how Cuba is viewed differently by Canada and the US, how their foreign policy diverges, and what the policies of Caribbean countries and Cuba are toward them. Essays consider the history behind Cold War policies; US policy and the Bush administration; the US-Cuba standoff; Canada, Caribbean, and Mexico relations to Cuba; political culture in Cuba; Cuba-US conflict in the context of terrorism; civil-society in Cuba; political activism and exile; and Castro's discourse on Cuba's foreign policy.
