Foreign Policy
This article analyzes the contradictions between US electoral politics of the two parties and their commonality of foreign policies. Two additional elements will shape the analysis. First, is a discussion of US foreign policy after the 2024 election; and second, is how US policy is shaped and challenged by the rise of the Global South

The Crisis of Higher Education in the Era of Neoliberal Globalization
This article explores some of the literature on the political economy of higher education. It suggests growing contradictions between the need for available funds and competition for students, research dollars, and new educational “products,” such as online education. It refers to that literature that raises contradictions between the global “market” for students and tuition fees. And it also raises issues of the quality of education, particularl…
The Wisdom of a Socialist Defector
Victor Grossman's A Socialist Defector: From Harvard to Karl-Marx-Allee is at once an exciting adventure story, an engaging autobiography of a radical opponent of U.S. imperialism, and a clear-headed assessment of the successes and failures of the German Democratic Republic (GDR, East Germany) at the onset of the Cold War until 1990, when its citizens voted to merge with the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG, West Germany). Most poignantly, Grossm…
Trump’s Cuban Policy as a Metaphor for US Politics
This paper reviews the history of US-Cuban relations. It identifies the modest but significant changes in that policy brought about by negotiations during the Barack Obama and Raul Castro Administrations. It then examines the policy reversals initiated by President Trump during his first year in office. The paper suggests that US policy toward Cuba is characteristic of US foreign policy generally
US Foreign Policy towards Cuba
This article examines the various interpretations of the root causes of US foreign policy towards Cuba. Examining 250 years of policies articulated and defended by prominent US foreign policy decision-makers, the authors decide that geopolitical, economic and ideological explanations of why the US has behaved towards Cuba the way it has need to be supplemented by an understanding of the counter-revolutionary US foreign policy agenda. Drawing upon…

From Living Wages to Family Wages
This paper analyzes the rhetoric and policy goals of the living wage movement. While the rhetoric focuses on workers in the context of their families, the wage levels demanded by activists and mandated by laws are almost never adequate to support families with children, especially single-parent families. We contend the problem is a fundamental, conceptual one: focusing only on setting a single hourly wage obscures the diverse needs of poor famili…
Central Labor Councils and the Revival of American Unionism
Gathered here are research papers, speeches, and lecture notes, a multifaceted survey of Chinese history embracing a wide range of subjects, from historical antecedents, relevant Western experience, and recent revelations to locus classicus and statistics. All lead to Huang's grand synthesis: That the one-and-a-half-century-long Chinese revolution is nearing fulfillment as Chinese civilization merges with Western history. While not everyone will …

The media war against Nicaragua
“Hostility” describes U.S. policy toward the Nicaraguan government virtually from the time the new revolutionary junta came to power in July 1979 until February 1990, when the Nicaraguan people voted the Sandinista Front for National Liberation (FSLN) out of power. They were elections largely shaped by the U.S. war against that regime. The U.S. sponsored a counterrevolutionary army (the “Contras”) whose terror campaigns devastated the Nicaraguan …
Framing the Enemy
Given the dramatic changes that have occurred in the former Soviet Union and among its erstwhile allies in the Soviet Bloc during the period of glasnost and perestroika, it is argued that the U.S. media portrayal of Cuba has shifted to accommodate this post‐cold war structure of international relations. Past portrayal of Cuba as a Soviet surrogate in the Western Hemisphere has shifted in media frames toward an emphasis on Cuban domestic issues. T…

The Policy Consequences of the Green Revolution
By examining data from fifteen Latin American nations on several agricultural‐ and food‐related variables for 1965 to 1977, this paper analyzes the efficacy of the Green Revolution for food consumption. A Radical Model is offered to explain why a high technology, export‐oriented, agricultural policy may not adequately serve the food consumption needs of Third World countries

Social Science and a New Social Order
Singer has argued that the functions of social science research are to describe, explain, and predict.1 Dominant paradigms in disillusionsocial science, since pre-World War Two disillusionment with prescription,2 have presupposed these three functions, and whole disciplines have been guided by them. Theory-building enterprises with the use of sophisticated computer and statistical tools have been developed in the last twenty years at a time when …

Perspectives on World Order
This essay seeks to clarify the boundaries and characterize the content of world-order studies with a view to bringing some much-needed conceptual, analytical, and historical clarity and order to the subject. The authors trace the evolution of all the three major perspectives on world order, lay bare the basic premises and summarize the main conclusions of each, and round off with a critique
Global Dominance and Dependence, Post-Industrialism, and International Relations Theory
This review analyzes four premises of state-centric theories of international relations and contrasts them with two new global phenomena: dominance and dependency and post-industrialism. The two phenomena, it is claimed, are leading international politics in the direction of what some theorists call a global dominance system. The global future portrayed is wholistic, transnational, hierarchical, controlled via technocratic mechanisms, and cultura…
