United States - Cuba Relations: Does the War on Terrorism Change Our Stance?

Abstract

The relationship between the US and Cuba has been marked by tension and confrontation over the past 40 years. With the exception of Kennedy, every President since Eisenhower has either maintained or strengthened the US policy of economic sanctions against Cuba. The current US policy may actually serve to promote the interests of the Castro regime better than the interests of the US. This Strategic Research Project will review the historical perspectives of our policies toward Cuba and analyze whether this posture should be maintained, revised or repealed all together in light of our "war" on terrorism subsequent to September 11, 2001.
