  • The Historical Cuba-Us Discordancy from the Theoretical Outlook of The
    European Scientific Journal December 2014 edition vol.10, No.34 ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857- 7431 THE HISTORICAL CUBA-U.S. DISCORDANCY FROM THE THEORETICAL OUTLOOK OF THE INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS Dr. Onesimo Julian Moreira Seijos University of Quintana Roo Abstract This paper focuses on the main features of the relationship between Cuba and the United States (U.S.) since the nineteenth century to the present. The essay analyses the confrontation between these two countries from the theoretical view of International Relations (IR). The aim of the paper is to demonstrate that the nature of the Cuba-U.S. discrepancies during the Cold War is not confined to the ideological controversy of the East/West relations. Despite the changes that have taken place in world politics during the 1990s and the hopes which opened with the Obama administration, the design of U.S. policy towards Cuba has scarcely changed after the end of the Cold War. On the other hand, the revival of the Wilsonian ideas alleged in the mainstream IR literature does not take into account the special case of the Cuba-U.S relations. Regardless of the current trend to stress international institutions and to sort out conflict within the framework of international agreements, the Cuban problem remains as a national interest matter for the U.S. The historic sequence of the Cuban issue in American politics lend support to the argument that while within the academic discipline of International Relations there is a trend to consider the current period as a proof of the end of realism, the wires which lead the American political behaviour towards Cuba are still under the influence of old-fashioned national interest, the rational choice program and the U.S.

  • The Worldview of Franklin D. Roosevelt: France, Germany, and United States Involvement in World War Ii in Europe
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: THE WORLDVIEW OF FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT: FRANCE, GERMANY, AND UNITED STATES INVOLVEMENT IN WORLD WAR II IN EUROPE Michael S. Bell, Doctor of Philosophy, 2004 Dissertation directed by: Professor Keith W. Olson Dep artment of History President Franklin D. Roosevelt operated from a remarkably consistent view of the world that grew naturally from his experiences. Before he entered the White House, Roosevelt already possessed a coherent worldview that influenced his thinking and informed his decisions as president. The product of his background and education, his experiences, and his exposure to contemporary ideas, Roosevelt’s worldview fully coalesced by the mid 1920s and provided a durable and coherent foundation for Roosevelt’s thinking as president and his strategic direction in response to the deteriorating situation in Europe in the late 1930s and toward the Second World War. Roosevelt’s “worldview” was his broad perspective and sweeping understanding of the impact and interplay of states, parties, groups, and individual people on the progressive advance of world civilization. His background and personal experiences, understanding of historical events, and ideology shaped Roosevelt’s perspective and enabled him to formulate and deliberately pursue long-range strategic goals as part of his foreign policy. The foundation of Roosevelt’s worldview was a progressive, liberal outlook that provided a durable basis for how he interpreted and responded to events at home and abroad. An essential aspect of that outlook was Roosevelt’s deep conviction that he had a personal responsibility to advance civilization and safeguard the cause of liberal reform and democracy. He believed that he was an agent of progress.

  • Republic of Latvia Materials on International Law 2015
    Republic of Latvia Materials on International Law 2015 Edited by Kristaps Tamužs* [Editorial Notes: 1. Republic of Latvia Materials on International Law 2015 (RLMIL 2015) have been classified according to the Recommendation (97)11 of 12 June 1997 of the Committee of Ministers of Council of Europe, as applied by the British Yearbook of International Law from the year 1997, with certain minor amendments. 2. The RLMIL mostly concern the opinions made by the institutions and officials of Latvia. Often, different officials expressed views on same is- sues. In order to prevent unnecessary repetition, the editor has selected materials from the highest possible level. The statements of the officials and in particular the decisions of the courts have been occasionally ed- ited in order to ensure brevity, focus and consistency. 3. There were several recurring topics in the speeches given and state- ments made by officials, for example, the conflict in Ukraine and the Lat- vian officials’ strong endorsement of the Minsk agreement. A concern was raised on several occasions about the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Syria. The President as well as the Minister of Foreign Affairs also con- tinued to express Latvia’s continued support for a reform of the United Nations Security Council. The work of the Latvian Ministry of Foreign Affairs as well as other state institutions primarily focused on the Latvian presidency of the European Union during the first half of 2015. Within this framework Latvia also hosted the summit meeting of the Eastern Partnership on 21 and 22 May * LL.M.; Legal Advisor, the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Latvia; Visiting Lec- turer, Riga Graduate School of Law and Riga Stradiņš University.

    Sumner Welles, Postwar Planning, and the Quest for New World Order: Chapter 8 4/24/03 3:07 PM 8. Resignation 1 By the summer of 1943, Welles had concluded that the stories circulating in Washington about his personal life could no longer be ignored, and in early August he offered his resignation to President Roosevelt. 1 Although the real reasons behind his departure were hushed up, many knew the truth. "There is a lot of talk," Breckinridge Long confided in his diary in late August, "about Welles's departure being on account of differences in opinion about policy. That is not the case. The trouble was purely and simply that Welles was accused of a highly immoral bit of conduct, that Bullitt became advised of it, and spread the story. There was an investigation. The office of [the] District Attorney had some part in it I am informed. Hull told me repeatedly about the F.B.I. reports — the file which was sent to the White House and disappeared for the time. The story was whispered around Washington." 2 For three years Bullitt had worked relentlessly with Hull to bring the incident to the attention of the president and the Senate's wartime watchdog committee headed by Missouri Senator Harry Truman. FBI director J. Edgar Hoover gave his quiet assistance to Roosevelt on the matter and helped the president conceal the scandal for three years. Roosevelt told Hoover that he suspected that Welles's drinking had precipitated the incidents, and he accepted Hoover's suggestion that "someone should be assigned to travel with Mr.

  • Guantanamo and U.S. Law
    Fordham International Law Journal Volume 30, Issue 3 2006 Article 10 Guantanamo and U.S. Law Joseph C. Sweeney∗ ∗ Copyright c 2006 by the authors. Fordham International Law Journal is produced by The Berke- ley Electronic Press (bepress). http://ir.lawnet.fordham.edu/ilj Guantanamo and U.S. Law Joseph C. Sweeney Abstract This Article deals with the United States’ presence at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, the domestic and international law issues that have arisen, and the nature of the jurisdiction exercised there by the United States. It does not deal with the operation of the prison facility. Guantanamo Bay is near the eastern end of Cuba, 628 miles (1000 km) from the capital, Havana. It is a deep- water harbor, protected by hills from the extremes of Caribbean weather; but it has an unhealthy tropical climate. The forty-five square miles of the Guantanamo Naval Base have been occupied by the United States since the Spanish-American War in 1898. Originally a coaling station, it had been utilized for training, repairs, anti-submarine warfare, and humanitarian rescue before its present uses. Its continued presence is deeply resented in the island State of almost twelve million people, but the persistence of the communist dictatorship of Fidel Castro has strengthened U.S. determination to hold on, even though the base no longer serves a military purpose.
