Fabian Globalisation Group

"Rather than simply apportioning the blame for world poverty, the Fabian Globalisation Group has produced a manifesto for real change, putting forward a set of solutions to the problems facing the world that combines new multilateral institutions with tougher corporate regulation and a more progressive attitude towards migration. This analysis and advocacy is required reading for anyone who wants to know how a more just world can be created."--Jacket.

Louis A. Pérez, Jr

In this new edition of his acclaimed 1990 volume, Louis A. Perez Jr. brings his expertise to bear on the history and direction of relations between Cuba and the United States. Of all the peoples in Latin America, the author argues, none have been more familiar to the United States than Cubans - who in turn have come to know their northern neighbors equally well. Focusing on what President McKinley called "the ties of singular intimacy" linking the destinies of the two societies, Perez examines the points at which they have made contact - politically, culturally, economically - and explores the dilemmas that proximity to the United States has posed to Cubans in their quest for national identity.

Gilles Paquet

"Ce tableau d'avancement examine le Canada français de la dernière moitié du XXe siècle et propose quelques repères utiles, souligne certains enlisements, avancées et retards, et cherche à comprendre son évolution malaisée à travers trois grandes perspectives: celle de chefs politiques qui l'ont orienté, celle d'intellectuels influents qui l'ont interprété, et celle de certaines institutions qui en ont révélé la dynamique."
