Learning To Salsa: New Steps In U.s.-cuba Relations - Ambassador Vicki Huddleston And Carlos Pascual

"Through this project, Huddleston and Pascual present a pragmatic policy strategy for U.S. relations with Cuba. They put forth a well-grounded road map for effective engagement that would improve our ability to broadly advance U.S. interests, from human rights to security and commercial opportunities. This book is excellent reading for policymakers, analysts, practitioners, and students of U.S.-Cuba affairs." —Sen. Richard G. Lugar of Indiana, Ranking Member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations

"A thought-provoking, timely, and original contribution from two of America's most impressive public servants and foreign policy practitioners. Our nation has an opportunity to reassess and reshape our policy toward Cuba. In this engaging, forward-looking book, Vicki Huddleston and Carlos Pascual show us how." —Thomas "Mack" McLarty, White House Special Envoy for the Americas, 1996–98

"Stemming from a highly creative, original —and yet rigorous —methodology, this book provides a practical blueprint for a new U.S. policy of engagement toward Cuba. If adopted on the terms suggested by Pascual and Huddleston, that policy would serve both the interests of the Cuban people and American diplomacy; as a bonus it would also remove a traditional cause of uneasiness in the relationship between the U.S. and many of the other Latin American republics." —Ernesto Zedillo, Director, Yale Center for the Study of Globalization, and President of Mexico, 1994–2000

"Somehow, to the amazement of all involved, the Right, the Left, and the Center came to the Brookings table to forge a road map out of the fifty-year quicksand bog of U.S.-Cuba relations. Just how Carlos Pascual and Vicki Huddleston assembled us all remains a mystery, but the result is an undeniable breakthrough: a concrete, pragmatic blueprint for a future with Cuba in which the United States recuses itself from its role as the Castros' Goliath, while averting an even worse outcome: irrelevancy. Hallelulah.... Adelante!" —Annie Bardach, University of California–Berkeley and author of Without Fidel: A Death Foretold in Miami, Havana, and Washington
