Vega, Bernardo creator text WashingtonUS CSIS Americas Program 1998 monographic [3], i, 9 p. Examines the new US-Caribbean relationship. Views US policy as largely focussed on 'police issues' such as drugs and illegal immigration. Perceives simularities in a U.S. policy that fought against those 'soft on communism' and a policy that fights against those ' soft on drugs'. Introduces an often overlooked element into the US-Caribbean relationship : that of the Caribbean diaspora. 3/7/00 M2LMGR 01.02.05 V422 20260716043234.0
