This book examines the evolution of Cuba's foreign relations since the demise of the USSR. It is divided into three sections: the first examines the nature of economic and political change that has taken place in Cuba in the last three years; the second analyzes the evolution of Cuban international relations, which have flourished in recent years; the final section examines the nature of the impasse in bilateral relations with the USA and offers some suggestions to resolve the difficulties.
"Important collection of 16 essays by Cuban and foreign specialists emerging from the symposium 'Cuba in the International System: Normalization and Integration' held at Carleton Univ., Ottawa, in Sept. 1993. Articles on external sector reforms (by Pedro Monreal and Manuel Râua), remittances (by Carmelo Mesa-Lago), commercial relations with Latin America (by Francisco Leâon), US subsidiaries' trade with Cuba (by Donna Rich Kaplowitz), and compensation issues in US-Cuba normalization of relations (by Archibald R.M. Ritter) have significant economic content and are quite valuable" - Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
