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.
