Riassunto

This book examines U.S.-Cuba relations within the framework of the U.S.'s long-standing policy agenda of promoting a democratic transition in Cuba. The study builds a theoretical framework which is used to analyze the assumptions underlying the U.S. strategy. It presents a rich empirical analysis that gives insight into the U.S. policies which produced neither the collapse of the Cuban regime nor a transition to democracy. It is examined using a theoretical framework and an empirical analysis from both a top-down and a bottom-up approach.

Recensione

Seaman (social sciences, U. of Osnabrück, Germany) conducts an analysis of US policy towards Cuba during the Bush years (although the relative continuity in policy under Obama means that Seaman s findings on the ineptness of the policy remain relevant). (Reference & Research Book News, August 2010))

Der Autor stellt im Zuge seiner Analyse fest, dass die ausschließlich auf ökonomischen Maßnahmen beruhende Top-Down-Strategie der USA nicht vorrangig zur Delegitimierung oder gar zum politischen Kollaps des autoritären Regimes führte, sondern einzig die wirtschaftliche Lage der kubanischen Bevölkerung verschlechterte.
