Historians, political scientists, and other academics offer sometimes-contradictory analyses of the relationships between Cuba and its two Northern neighbors. Presented by Basdeo (history and international relations, Okanagan U. College, Canada) and Nicol (geosciences, U. of West Georgia), contributions variously argue that worsening Canadian relations with Cuba are a temporary concession to the electoral needs of Prime Minister ChrTtien or that they are a fundamental break over human rights, that the defining and overwhelming problem with U.S.-Cuban relations is Castro's hold on power or that things aren't really that bad and that policy could go either way, and that Cuba is not likely to change its current policies or regime very quickly.
