Description
President Xi Jinping said that art and literary workers are the engineers of the human soul. What creative works are these “engineers" producing to boost patriotism? How are “little pinks” contributing to the rise of cyber nationalism? And in China’s definition of cyberspace sovereignty, is there any room for dissent? How will China’s renewed push on patriotic education, and “ideology work” help the country “prepare for dangerous storms”?

Filmed on location at La Plata, Castro's former guerrilla headquarters- the first time any foreign film crew had been permitted there - the documentary examines the origins of Castro's revolution, and its ultimate successes and failures. It places U.S.-Cuban relations within the context of history, dating back to the Spanish-American War in 1898. The documentary goes on to paint a canvas of everyday Cuban life. It contrasts the successes of Cuba - medical care, education and housing - with the often repressive political measures implemented by the Castro government. We hear from Cuban artists, State Department officials, exiled writers, and Fidel Castro himself. We visit the Psychiatric Hospital, the Women's Prison, and a library to see what books are available. This film does full justice to its complex subject. It is neither a rationale for Communist Cuba nor a political tool for Cuban exiles. It will interest audiences of all political persuasions.

This case study describes the politics that surrounded U.S. decision-making in response to an attempt by the Soviet Union to build a submarine base at Cienfuegos, Cuba, in 1970. The narrative highlights the political moves by President Richard Nixon and National Security Adviser Henry Kissinger, who disagreed over how to respond to this event. It also tracks developments once the Soviet actions went public in the United States and discusses the political process by which situations come to be defined as a crisis or non-crisis, as well as the bureaucratic politics involved in the process. This case study would be particularly useful for courses on U.S. foreign and national security policy.
