This dissertation analyzes U.S.-Cuban relations by focusing on the interaction of diplomacy and human migration during the late Cold War years. It explores how the U.S. government reformulated its Cuban policy in light of Fidel Castro's institutionalization of power while, at the same time, trying to build a new relationship with the Cuban-American community as the latter forged a new, politically mobilized constituency within U.S. society. By exploring the interactions of diplomacy and human migration, this dissertation not only analyzes the contradictory nature of U.S. policy toward Cuba but also illuminates how the making of U.S. foreign policy has changed due to the inflow of people from other parts of the world.

Clarence Streit and Twentieth-Century American Internationalism

In this illuminating and comprehensive account, Talbot C. Imlay chronicles the life of Clarence Streit and his Atlantic federal union movement in the Unites States during and following the Second World War. The first book to detail Streit's life, work and significance, it reveals the importance of public political cultures in shaping US foreign relations. In 1939, Streit published Union Now which proposed a federation of the North Atlantic democracies modelled on the US Constitution. The buzz created led Streit to leave his position at The New York Times and devote himself to promoting the union. Over the next quarter of a century, Streit worked to promote a new public political culture, employing a variety of strategies to gain visibility and political legitimacy for his project and for federalist frameworks. In doing so, Streit helped shape wartime debates on the nature of the post-war international order and of transatlantic relations.
