Acknowledgments
This book could not have been written without the inspiration and support from Ambassador Ambler H. Moss, Professor Bernard H. Oxman, Dr. Joaquin Roy, and Dr. Daniel Suman. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to them. I would also like to thank the staff of the Department of International Studies and the School of Law for their support during the time of my studies at the University of Miami—in particular, Steve Ralph and Dr. Andy Gomez for their encouragement, as well as navigation around red tape and administrative challenges.
To my fellow students, I am grateful for the intellectual debates, the different perspectives, and the good company. My family, in particular my wife, I thank for the patience and support that kept me going.
Lastly, I would like to thank Ambassadors Charles and Sue Cobb whose initial funding made this journey possible.
