I did not know you were in pen-l so I was almost sending this info to IPE. I think I understand your concern about your library's limited resources, since I had similar experiences back to my country. On the other hand, any information you will find over the internet on Cuba-US relations may not be reliable, unless it is published in a well known journal or magazine, either critical or mainstream. Besides, the topic is fishy. Personally, I always find it difficult to have access to articles on the net for the simple fact that some journals just name the articles without posting them on their web pages. So I go with the classical method and visit the library. Why don't you consider the following sources to see if your library owns them? Halliday, Fred., 1986, The Making of the Second Cold War, London, Verso. Gill, Stephan., 1990, American Hegemony and the Trilateral Commission, Cambridge, Cambridge University Press. Cuba and the United States : will the cold war in the Caribbean end? / Publisher: Boulder, Colo. Cuba : confronting the U.S. embargo / Author: Schwab, Peter, 1940- Edition: 1st ed. Publisher: New York :St. Martin's Press,1999. McCormick, T.J., 1989, America's Half Century. United States Foreign Policy in the Cold War, Baltimore, The Johns Hopkins University Press. Graham T. Allison, _Essence of Decision: Explaining the Cuban Missile Crisis_ Boston: Little Brown, 1971. Mary Caldor, "After the Cold War", _New Left Review_, 180, March/April, 1990:5-23. Enrico Augelli and Craig N. Murphy, "Gramsci and International Relations: A General Perspective and example from recent US policy toward the thirld world" in Stephan Gill ed., _Gramsci, Historical Materialism and International Relations_, Cambridge Press, 1993. hope this helps, ps: regarding our discussion on crisis, in addition to your useful readings, I have found Kees Van Der Pijl's book _The Making of an Atlantic Ruling Class_ quite helpful. It does a very good job with 70s. I don't know if you have had a chance to look at it though (University of Amsterdam, phd,1984). cheers, Mine Doyran SUNY/Albany
