Recenzje

'Analysts disagree about how to explain a state's foreign policies. One group focuses on the effects the power distribution among states has on the actions of a state; a second group emphasizes the role of domestic politics; and a third concentrates on the ideas and beliefs of the state's leaders. Kami's excellent analysis transcends those artificial boundaries … he identifies the multiple external factors that affected the complex interactions between Havana, Washington, and Miami.' Alex Roberto Hybel, The Americas
