ABOUT THE PROJECT
The Cuba Project continues to be at the cutting edge of educational outreach on the domestic and international repercussions of the unilateral US embargo against Cuba.
The project, created by Senior Fellow Lissa Ree Weinmann in 1997, focuses on examining the impact of US sanctions on state and society in Cuba and the United States.
The project has organized an annual National Summit on Cuba
in Washington DC in 2002, Miami in 2003, Tampa in 2004,
Mobile in 2005, and Newark in 2006, underscoring World Policy Institute's commitment to bring fresh voices on foreign policy issues to new audiences around the country.
Newspapers and
radio programs across the United States and abroad have interviewed
and quoted project personnel on numerous occasions. DVDs that capture
more than 80 prominent American leaders’ points of view on U.S.
Cuba policy at the National Summit on Cuba events have been catalogued
by the Library of Congress and other prominent national repositories
and are available through the project.
