This intriguing pattern of U.S.-Cuban cooperation emerged during the 1990s. Naked self-interest led the two governments to cooperate in four areas: illegal immigration, drug trafficking, decreasing tensions around Guantanamo Naval Base, and reducing the threat of unintended war. The fact that there has been any cooperation between the United States and Cuba may be surprising since the public rhetoric of animosity has always dominated U.S.-Cuban discourse."; "To date, there has been little systematic research on these areas of cooperation, from confidence building measures to how Cuban exile groups have attempted to undermine all levels of cooperation with the United States. Melanie Ziegler examines these issues and offers possible solutions in hopes of discovering the best pathway for avoiding future confrontation and for building normal relations in the twenty-first century. As the Fidel Castro era draws to a close, it is essential to examine and begin looking for new perspectives on U.S.-Cuban cooperation tactics." "Complete with a historical background, this book is a must-read for scholars, students, policy experts, and members of the U.S. military."--Jacket UR - http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip0710/2007004258.html UR - http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0812/2007004258-b.html UR - http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0812/2007004258-d.html UR - http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0812/2007004258-d.html ER -
