Unsurprisingly for a group of representatives from 21 states with varying political, socioeconomic, and geo- graphic contexts, they had divergent goals. Yet, with the exception of Cuba’s delegation, they all agreed on why they were there: Havana’s alignment with “extra-continental communist powers,” along with Fidel Castro’s announce- ment on 1 December 1961 that he was a lifelong Marxist-Leninist, had made Cuba’s government “incompatible with the principles and objectives of the inter-American system.” A Communist offensive in Latin America of “in- creased intensity” also meant “continental unity and the democratic institu- tions of the hemisphere” were “in danger.”1 After agreeing on these points, the assembled officials had to decide what to do about Cuba.

  • La Revolución Cubana Y Su Influencia En Las Izquierdas Latinoamericanas
    La Revolución Cubana y su infl uencia en las izquierdas latinoamericanas y caribeñas 〈特集：キューバ革命50周年／日本キューバ国交樹立80周年記念〉 La Revolución Cubana y su infl uencia en las izquierdas latinoamericanas y caribeñas1） Carlos Alzugaray Treto2） El 27 de julio de 1960, en el Senado de la República de Chile, resonaron las siguientes frases precursoras: “Rendimos homenaje a las milicias inmoladas hace siete años en el asalto al cuartel Moncada y lo hacemos expresando que los sectores populares de Chile, la inmensa mayoría del pueblo siente, comparte y vive los ideales de la revolución cubana. Tal hecho no puede ser extraño para nadie porque en la conciencia del pueblo chileno existe la inmensa y profunda convicción de que América Latina está viviendo uno de los minutos más trascendentales de su historia; que las revoluciones mexicana y boliviana señalaron ya una etapa, y que la cubana marca con caracteres imborrables un proceso de superación al dar sólidos pasos hacia la plena independencia económica y señalar, con su lucha, el camino que han de seguir los pueblos latinoamericanos para afi anzar y acelerar la evolución política, económica y social que los lleve a ser auténtica y defi nitivamente libres.” Así habló aquella fría tarde del invierno austral Salvador Allende Gossens. A principios de la década de 1960 era sumamente arriesgado hacer un pronóstico semejante. A ojos vista, pocos antecedentes históricos permitían conjeturar que la Revolución Cubana, que ya comenzaba a ser objeto del acoso implacable del imperialismo estadounidense podría sobrevivir y aún menos tener la infl uencia que ha alcanzado hoy en día. La conferencia que con placer presento hoy en este seminario sobre el 50 Aniversario de la Revolución Cubana en el Instituto de Estudios sobre América Latina de Kioto, se propone exponer algunos rasgos característicos de este fenómeno.

  • Diplomacy and Human Migration: a History of U.S. Relations with Cuba During the Late Cold War DISSERTATION Presented in Partial
    Diplomacy and Human Migration: A History of U.S. Relations with Cuba during the Late Cold War DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Hideaki Kami Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2015 Dissertation Committee: Professor Robert J. McMahon, Adviser Professor Peter L. Hahn, Co-adviser Professor Stephanie J. Smith Copyright by Hideaki Kami 2015 Abstract This dissertation analyzes U.S.-Cuban relations by focusing on the interaction of diplomacy and human migration during the late Cold War years. It explores how the U.S. government reformulated its Cuban policy in light of Fidel Castro’s institutionalization of power while, at the same time, trying to build a new relationship with the Cuban- American community as the latter forged a new, politically mobilized constituency within U.S. society. Based on historical sources from the United States, Cuba, and other countries, I argue that the triangular relations among Washington, Havana, and Miami formidably reinforced the status quo. As hundreds of thousands of Cuban-Americans participated in U.S. politics in the hope of toppling the Castro regime, the U.S. government could no longer dismiss their concerns as completely alien to the national interest. But while committing to “freedom” in Cuba in their public statements, U.S. policy-makers in fact placed a higher priority on stability in the Caribbean Sea; they collaborated with the Cuban government to prevent migration crises such as the 1980 Mariel boatlift, one of the largest and most traumatic in modern U.S.

  • Square Dance Diplomacy: Cuba and CARIFORUM, the European Union and the United States Jessica Byron*
    European Review of Latin American and Caribbean Studies 68, April 2000 . 23-45 Square Dance Diplomacy: Cuba and CARIFORUM, the European Union and the United States Jessica Byron* Following the collapse of its trade and economic cooperation with the COME- CON Bloc in 1991, Cuba’s diplomatic priorities in the 1990s have been the reintegration into Latin America and the Caribbean, and the forging of a new economic and political relationship with Western Europe in the context of the continuing U.S. embargo. Despite setbacks occasioned by developments like the U.S. Helms-Burton Bill of 1996, the strategy has been relatively successful. This is evidenced by the fact that 30 per cent of Cuba’s trade now takes place with each of those geographical entities, compared to 8 per cent with Europe and 5 per cent with Latin America and the Caribbean a decade ago.1 Cuba also has much stronger bilateral and multilateral links with Latin America and with Europe. Since 1997, these two aspects of Cuban diplomacy have begun to converge, helped along by the rapid evolution of the European Union’s development cooperation policy towards the Caribbean and Cuba’s search for new options after the impasse reached in the Cuba-European Union (EU) dialogue in 1996. The first part of the article therefore examines Cuba’s relations with the Eu- ropean Union and with its member states in the present decade. Emphasis is put upon the role that the United States has played as an ever-present hegemon in influencing the policies and actions of its Western allies towards states in the Caribbean Basin.
