This volume brings together Cuban and non-Cuban contributors in order to explore potentials, pitfalls, and possibilities of reshaping Cuban-United States relations towards normalization. For all of the key issues addressed, both Cuban and non-Cuban perspectives are included. Topics discussed by the volume's 14 chapters include security and defense issues (including terrorism and the Anti-Hijacking Accord) in the US-Cuban relationship, the role of the European Union in US-Cuban relations, potential economic implications of normalization, immigration issues, and academic and cultural exchange.
