"The intertwined stories of two archipelagos and their diasporas This volume is the first systematic comparative study of Cuba and Puerto Rico from both a historical and contemporary perspective. In these essays, contributors highlight the interconnectedness of the two archipelagos in social categories such as nation, race, class, and gender to encourage a more nuanced and multifaceted study of the relationships between the islands and their diasporas. Topics range from historical and anthropological perspectives on Cuba and Puerto Rico before and during the Cold War to cultural and sociological studies of diasporic communities in the United States. The volume features analyses of political coalitions, the formation of interisland sororities, and environmental issues. Along with sharing a similar early history, Cuba and Puerto Rico have closely intertwined cultures, including their linguistic, literary, food, musical, and religious practices. Contributors also discuss literature by Cuban and Puerto Rican authors by examining the aesthetics of literary techniques and discourses, the representation of psychological space on the stage, and the impacts of migration. Showing how the trajectories of both archipelagos have been linked together for centuries and how they have diverged recently, Cuba and Puerto Rico offers a transdisciplinary approach to the study of this intricate relationship and the formation of diasporic communities and continuities.

The goal of this article is to see how the underlying cultural, historical, or perceptual elements that form the basis for the establishment of international agreements and organizations affect bargaining between nations over issues of the global commons. The article has four parts. In the first two, the author summarizes competing ideas about the provisions of collective goods and theories of regime formation (related aspects of the same phenomenon). In the third section, the author suggests ways in which cultural, historical, and perceptual differences might be worked into notions about regime formation. Finally, in the fourth, the author addresses the implications of these ideas for managing the planetary atmosphere.
