	Cuba-U.S. Relations
		In the course of those years, however, the question of Cuba was not a priority in U.S. political circles and the policy was rather consensus-based: Democrats and Republican, liberals and conservatives generally assumed markedly anti-Cuban positions.
		US policy toward Cuba is irrational because it does not correspond to reality, i.e., the Cuban reality, the lack of a Cuban threat if it ever was one, and the inadequacy of the blockade to achieve newly stated goals of "bringing democracy" to Cuba.
		Cuba's release of some prisoners, the increasing role allowed Catholic humanitarian organizations and the Easter celebrations all are viewed as signs that the Vatican's policy is on track.

		Cuba's next generation knows it must govern and seek ways to prosper in a world radically different from the one that sustained the first three decades of Cuban socialism.
		Take one example: Cuba's system for regulating foreign investment requires that most hiring be done through state employment agencies, and it effectively taxes over ninety percent of the investors' wage payments, which are made in dollars.
		When economic relations are re- established, whether that is a year or a decade from now, Americans will see that Cuban reformers and foreign investors are among those who helped prepare Cuba's economy and workforce for the market-based future that Washington long advocated.

		Cuba has cooperated with U.S. authorities in the struggle against terrorism, passing along information on assassination attempts, as was the case even during the Reagan administration.
		Yet Cuba is classified as a terrorist country by the State Department, even though it is well known that the Cuban Government has never supported any kind of act against American civilians or officials of the kind that took place last Tuesday.
		Cuba's offer of support in whatever we can help reflects a clear hope that we might cooperate on this issue beyond our differences.

	Foreign minister shake-up comes as Cuba policy shifts
		Cuba's Prensa Latina news agency reported Friday that Castro had replaced the 43-year-old Robaina, foreign minister since 1993, because of ``the need for more profound, rigorous, systematic and demanding work in this sphere.
		Cabinet changes in Cuba are rare and this one seemed particularly unusual because Robaina's staff announced Thursday that he would visit Venezuela, Panama and Haiti beginning next week.
		Robaina has been credited with improving Cuba's foreign relations to their best level in decades, establishing diplomatic ties with many nations after the Soviet bloc collapsed in 1991.

		Cuba is a country that suffers from a blockade by the U.S. It struggles within a unipolar world, that is, a world where military, ideological and economic power is controlled mainly from the U.S. Given these conditions, it is unlikely that Cuba's historical leadership will soon undertake a transformation of its political structure.
		One of the key challenges facing Cuba today is to follow up on the commitments it adopted, as an OMC member, when signing the Marrakech Agreements during the last Uruguay Round (in April of 1994).
		As you can see, there are diverse multilateral efforts that Cuba is involved with in order to maintain foreign trade, and this is within the context of a hemispheric free trade initiative from which Cuba is the region's only excluded country.

		A marvelous and evocative deconstruction of the incestuous relationships and hardball tactics that have kept Cuba firmly under Fidel Castro and U.S. policy toward Cuba paralyzed under the influence of Miami's Cuban Americans.

		Drawing on ten years of reporting on Cuba and its exiles, Bardach transitions effectively between profiles of aging patriarch and leader Fidel Castro and Cuban exiles seeking freedom but shunted into silence by hard-liners committed to revenge, retribution, and power.

	Cuba's Foreign Relations in a Post-Soviet World - by H. Michael Erisman- A new book from the University Press of Florida
		In a work that will become required reading for students of Cuban foreign policy, Michael Erisman analyzes the broad scope of revolutionary Cuba’s foreign relations.
		The book emphasizes two key aspects of the subject: Cuba’s adjustment since the disintegration of the Soviet Bloc, and the ongoing confrontation between Cuba and the United States.
		Using revolutionary Cuba’s foreign relations as a case study in counter-dependency politics, Erisman proposes that the country has always been highly sensitive to the danger of over-dependence on an external power and examines Havana’s implementation of this stance in both the Cold War and post-Cold War periods.
