Historical struggles to maintain, reform or repeal the Cuban Adjustment Act in the US Congress reveal a complex ideological, political and policy-driven battle among a wide range of groups acting in the domestic and foreign policies fronts. Drawing on the methodological approaches of public policy analysis, this paper focuses on three critical moments in which US efforts to reform its immigration system clashed with the influence of Cuban-American hardliners. This group has been successful in using its political clout in order to influence the public debate against repeal, by insisting on the longer term ideological value of the Act in the context of the US Cuba policy, in spite of structural trends in favour of restricted immigration.

Its first part (last edition) was devoted to the period extending from 1492, when the island was “discovered”, to 1898, when the War of Independence ended.

The volume under review here is based on the author’s doctoral dissertation submitted to the University of Szeged in 2016, which aimed to present a critical edition of the Old Uyghur documents related to the postal relay system of the Mongol Empire. The author has published several articles on the topic from the viewpoint of the history of the Mongol Empire,1 and he intended this volume to provide the basis of further historical investigation. The first part of the volume is allotted to the introduction (pp. 9–55), which consists of four sections (1.1–1.4.). The general introduction (1.1.) explains trends in historical research on the Mongol Empire during the past quarter century, which reveal that the Mongols accelerated economic, cultural and religious exchanges across Eurasia during the 13th–14th centuries. Clearly, such exchanges in the premodern ages would have required physical and material facilities for human transportation. This viewpoint has led the author as well as many Mongolists to the study of the postal relay system (Mong. ǰam ~ Tü. yam > Pers. yām) of the Mongol Empire. Previous studies have mainly been based on the Chinese and Persian narrative sources; however, the author raises the significance of the Old Uyghur secular documents as primary sources from Central Asia, the least studied region of the Mongol dominion. Following the research history of the Old Uyghur secular texts (1.2.), the author offers descriptions of the Old Uyghur text materials edited in the volume, amounting to 67 in total (1.3.). They are briefly divided into two categories: official documents (1.3.1.1) and private documents (1.3.1.2.). The 45 official documents are classified into provision orders (PO01–PO24), käzig-orders (Käz01–Käz11), miscellaneous orders (OMis01–OMis03), official accounts (OAcc01– OAcc05), and official registers (OReg01–OReg02).

this article summarises the results of a qualitative content analysis of the 2019 Cuban Constitution, approved in a national referendum on 24 February 2019, and compares Cuba’s constitutionally identified structures and processes with those highlighted as core characteristics of what has been termed twenty-first-century socialism. the article draws mainly on the work of Marta Harnecker (2010 and 2015), who includes the following features of twenty-first-century socialism: a) promoting participative democracy; b) creating the political instrument needed to lead the transition; c) instituting social ownership of the means of production; d) organising the economy toward satisfying human needs; e) having a decentralised (but aggregating) planned economy (including establishing worker-organised production as well as conceiving of efficiency as respect for nature and investment in full human development); f) incorporating material and moral incentives; g) educating for full human development

this article analyses the history of the Cuban economy over a very long period. Its first part, offered here (the second one will follow soon), is devoted to the period extending from 1492, when the island was "discovered", to 1898, when the War of Independence ended. the period of the conquest of Cuba, followed by the collapse of the indigenous society into chaos and the establishment of a racial division of labour, is presented first. then it is the turn of the island’s plunder and the insertion of its economy into the capitalist world system – an insertion which was characterised by a series of non-industrialisations. the reader’s attention then shifts to the period of capitalist slavery and sugar specialisation, up to the crisis of the slave system, the new flows of labour contracts and the transition to wage labour. Finally, Cuba’s economic dependence on the united States, beyond Spanish political domination, is studied.
