Debating U.S.-Cuban Relations

'For the third time, Dominguez, Hernandez, and Barberia have reassembled their all-star team of Cuban and U.S. scholars to reflect on the dynamics of bilateral relations leading up to and following the December 17, 2014 decision to normalize U.S.-Cuban relations.' - William Leogrande, American University, USA

'The editors have assembled a five-star cast of analysts, both Cuban and non-Cuban, to explore and update the long-term dynamics of U.S./Cuban relations. Given the recent improvement in those relations, these analyses can be seen as a significant resource in both policy-making and the larger public arenas.' - H. Michael Erisman, Indiana State University, USA

'Wise old Solomon got it wrong. There is something new under the sun, and it's called U.S.-Cuban relations in the 21st century. The first edition of this classic book appeared in the midst of bitter Cold War and the real threat of armed conflict between Cuba and the U.S. Full Stop. Fast forward to 2017. Surreally, Cuba and the U.S. have normalized relations. The American and Cuban presidents have gone to a baseball game together in Havana and eaten popcorn from the same box. It's a whole new ball game! The editors and authors of this new edition are our very best guides as to how the game should be played under the new circumstances.' -James G. Blight, Balsille School of International Affairs, Canada

'The updated edition of Debating U.S.-Cuban Relations comes at a propitious moment for students and policy makers to appreciate the complexity of normalization between the United States and Cuba since they re-established diplomatic relations. As with the excellent first edition, this volume enables readers in both countries to engage key issues empathetically, because the authors are among the most knowledgeable in each country. The book provides both cogent broad analyses and useful current information about both countries’ policies and interests.' - Philip Brenner, American University
