Journal Title: International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
On January 16 of 2015, the restoration of US-Cuba relations was announced to be one of the most important events in the region since over 50 years. Both political and economic relations between Cuba and the United States have had a characterization of being intermittent and chaotic, reflected in the foreign policy of these countries. With such announcement both nations create agendas where their interests are included, in order to build new policies and changes to facilitate the approach. The foregoing, leads to wonder about the possible changes that would be presented in Cuba as a result of the new bilateral relations with its neighbor, considering that the island has had little liberalization and influence in the international system. This paper aims to analyze the changes in the Cuban foreign policy as a result of the normalization of relations with the US and will be divided into two parts: in the first part we are going to make a theoretical and conceptual framework that help us to understand the Cuba-USA relation; in the second part we show and study a historical account of the Cuban foreign policy, in order to understand the background of this change in the relations of Cuba with the United States and what this change means to the island in economic and political terms. Resumen: El 16 de enero del 2015, se anuncia el restablecimiento de las relaciones Cuba y Estados Unidos siendo una de las coyunturas más importantes de la región puesto que durante más de 50 años se vivió en un entorno hostil e incierto. Las relaciones tanto políticas como económicas entre Cuba y Estados Unidos se han caracterizado por ser intermitentes y caóticas, viéndose reflejadas en la política exterior de cada uno. Con dicha normalización ambas naciones debieron crear agendas donde incluyeran sus intereses, además de empezar a constituir nuevas políticas y cambios que facilitaran el acercamiento. Lo anterior, conlleva a preguntarse sobre los posibles cambios que se presentarían en Cuba como consecuencia de las nuevas relaciones bilaterales con su vecino, teniendo en cuenta que la isla ha tenido pocos procesos de liberalización y poca influencia en el sistema internacional. La presente investigación tendrá como objetivo analizar los cambios en la política exterior cubana como resultado de la normalización de las relaciones con los EE.UU., y se dividirá en dos partes: en la primera parte, vamos a hacer un marco teórico y conceptual que nos ayudarán a entender la relación Cuba-EE.UU .; en la segunda parte mostraremos un recuento histórico de la política exterior cubana y lo analizaremos, con el fin de comprender el trasfondo de este cambio en las relaciones de Cuba con Estados Unidos y lo que este cambio significa que la isla en términos económicos y políticos.
