The result of a series of meetings held from 1985 through 1987 between U.S. and Cuban specialists, organized by the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced Studies and the University of Havana's Center of U.S. Studies, this volume presents well-informed U.S. and Cuban perspectives on current issues with an aim toward exploring how bilateral differences could be resolved if the two governments ever wished to do so.
