The International Institute for the Study of Cuba is an initiative by a team of UK located academics, specialists and consultants located at the University of Buckingham in the UK with the object of providing a dispassionate, in-depth and objective appraisal of the Cuban political, economic, cultural and historical experience.

The Institute is a membership association, open to all who share its aims and objectives. Among our goals are to provide reports and policy recommendations to decision-makers that are objective, factual and reasoned. We also exist to support and ensure the continued publication of the International Journal of Cuban Studies and to organise educational and academic events. We disseminate objective research and appraisals of Cuba, in particular its politics, history, culture and scientific progress.

The Institute is non-profit making and depends entirely on subscriptions, donations and the goodwill of those who donate their time and efforts unpaid in order to do its work.

Money raised by the IISC goes to pay the expenses of providing the editorial content of the journal.

Evaluating the Bay of Pigs invasion 60 Years on

This paper, originally written in 2001, analyses the evidence and argues that the US failure at Playa Girón can be read as a microcosm of US policy towards Cuba in the subsequent 60 years. It concludes that not only was the invasion a catastrophe in the short term, its effect in Cuba and the US was to guarantee that US aims would be frustrated for long afterwards.
