A New Look at U.S. Foreign Policy toward Cuba
Abstract
In the 33 years since the Cuban revolution, U.S. foreign policy toward Cuba has remained virtually unchanged. Now that Communism in the Soviet Union is dead and Cuban-Soviet relations are weak, it's time for the United States to revisit its foreign policy toward Cuba. To understand how current policy was developed, this research paper presents the following: (1) a chronology of U.S. foreign policy toward Cuba, (2) a brief history of Cuba through today, (3) an explanation of Cuba's leadership structure, (4) an illustration of the current changing environment, and (5) a number of factors that must be considered before the formulation of a new foreign policy. The paper presents three alternative policies and their advantages and disadvantages. He then recommends a new policy that would ease pressures, lift the embargo, and improve information flow between the United States and Cuba.
