US Policy Towards Cuba: Since the Cold War: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "US Policy Towards Cuba: Since the Cold War" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
US Policy Towards Cuba is a comprehensive examination of U.S. 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 two major pieces of legislation (the Cuban Democracy Act of 1992 and the Cuban Liberty and Democratic Solidarity Act of 1996, better known as the Helms-Burton Act) which tightened the embargo on Cuba and were fiercely resisted by U.S. allies. There is also a strong focus on migration as an issue in U.S.-Cuban relations.The book then moves on to examine U.S. policy during the second Clinton administration, when the interest group environment altered for two principal reasons. Firstly the case of the small Cuban rafter boy, Elian Gonzalez, attracted huge media coverage and led to public questioning of the wisdom of current policy, and secondly the agricultural lobby, keen to export to Cuba, lobbied for the Trade Sanctions Reform and Export Enhancement Act, which finally passed in 2000. The final section of the book analyses democracy promotion efforts under President George W. Bush.Seeking to cast light upon the US policymaking process, Gibbs demonstrates that U.S. Cuba policy represents a rather extreme example of the influence of domestic politics on policymaking, and provides a significant contribution to this important and under-researched aspect of U.S. foreign policy.

US Policy Towards Cuba
US Policy Towards Cuba is a comprehensive examination of US policy towards Cuba after the Cold War, from 1989 to 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 two major pieces of legislation (the Cuban Democracy Act of 1992 and the Cuban Liberty and Democratic Solidarity Act of 1996, better known as the HelmsBurton Act) which tightened the embargo on Cuba and were fiercely resisted by US allies. There is also a strong focus on migration as an issue in US-Cuban relations.
The book then moves on to examine US policy during the second Clinton administration, when the interest group environment altered for two principal reasons. First, the case of the small Cuban rafter boy, Elin Gonzlez, attracted huge media coverage and led to public questioning of the wisdom of current policy, and second, the agricultural lobby, keen to export to Cuba, lobbied for the Trade Sanctions Reform and Export Enhancement Act, which finally passed in 2000. The final section of the book analyses democracy promotion efforts under President George W. Bush.
Seeking to cast light upon the US policymaking process, Gibbs demonstrates that US-Cuba policy represents a rather extreme example of the influence of domestic politics on policymaking, and provides a significant contribution to this important and under-researched aspect of US foreign policy.

This book would not have been possible without the support and involvement of several people. Inspired by my time in Cuba, the research upon which it is based was carried out largely in Britain, drawing upon unclassified congressional and presidential papers and United Nations documents, among other materials. However, my interviewees in the United States, former policymakers, congressional aides, activists and academics, were generous with their time and helped me to gain a better understanding of the policymaking process in relation to Cuba.
Special thanks are due to my PhD supervisor, John A. Thompson, whose continuing encouragement and advice have been indispensable. I would also like to thank John Dumbrell and Tony Badger, my PhD examiners, who encouraged me to think about how I could adapt my thesis into publishable form. I had the opportunity to present material relating to the book at several workshops, research seminars and conferences, and would like to thank all those who provided feedback and suggestions for improvement. I am very grateful to the editors and staff at Routledge, who have been supportive and understanding. Finally, I thank my family for their assistance and forbearance, particularly in the last stages of the project when I was both completing the manuscript and adjusting to parenthood.
Introduction
For more than 200 years US policymakers have regarded Cubas fate as very much their own concern. This book discusses how relations between the two countries developed after the end of the Cold War, when, from a realist perspective, one might have expected the easing of the US economic embargo in the wake of the withdrawal of Cuban troops from Africa and the collapse of the SovietCuban alliance. Instead, however, sanctions tightened as policymakers in Washington attempted to increase economic pressure in order to bring about Fidel Castros downfall. This strategy was not cost-free. Not only did the tougher measures provoke considerable international criticism, but the extraterritorial reach of anti-Castro legislation caused tensions between the United States and its allies. This book seeks to explain why these measures were adopted, with particular emphasis on the domestic factors at play.
