Us Policy Towards Cuba

Since the Cold War

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

An examination of US policy towards Cuba after the Cold War, from 1989-2008. It discusses the competition between Congress and the executive for control of policy, and the domestic interests which shaped policymaking and led to the passage of 2 major pieces of legislation which tightened the embargo on Cuba and were fiercely resisted by US allies.

---

This is a comprehensive examination of US policy towards Cuba with a particular emphasis on the post-Cold War era. As well as providing a detailed account of US policy and actions towards Castro's regime, Jessica Gibbs also illustrates how this case study provides a revealing insight into wider debates about US foreign policy and international relations theory.
