Description
The contributors to Cuba and the Caribbean focus on trends in the international and regional affairs of the Caribbean nations in the 1990s, with special attention given to the reintegration of Cuba into the hemispheric community. Many of the 13 essays in this volume were presented at a multinational workshop involving scholars from Cuba, Venezuela, the United States, France, Puerto Rico, and other countries. The articles provide a comprehensive framework for understanding the dynamics of a complex region confronting globalization, the formation of trade blocs, and international crime.

Thirteen articles, some of which are revised papers from a May 1993 workshop held in Venezuela, describe current trends and regional issues of the Caribbean, emphasizing the reintegration of Cuba into the region and the hemispheric community in the post-Cold War era. Scholars discuss Caribbean geopolitics, regional trade agreements, the effects of the economic and social crises on the migration problem, and Caribbean interstate relations with Cuba. They look at global, Caribbean, and Cuban problems as intertwined, and consider developments as part of a national, regional, and global framework. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
