Factors affecting the US - Cuba relations between 1991 and 2008

Abstract

Although the two neighboring countries are geographically close, the relationship between the United States and Cuba has experienced vicissitudes since the past. This paper focuses on studying some factors that affected this relationship between 1991 and 2008, including the world and Latin American contexts after the Cold War, the US - Cuba relationship before 1991, and the economic, political situations, and their policies to the other. These factors, whether directly or indirectly, affected, impacted, and even regulated the development movement direction of the US - Cuba relations between 1991 and 2008.
