El conflicto Cuba-Estados Unidos de América: notas para una reflexión en el contexto de la lucha contra el terrorismo

The author analyzes the hardening of United States policy towards Cuba during the government of George W. Bush1 as well as the evolution of bilateral relations within the context of the global war against terrorism. Within this discussion, the text highlights the contrast between the executive’s hard-line policy and the progressive opening in the position of both Democrats and Republicans within the U.S. Congress, and the Bush administration’s insistence upon classifying Cuba as a terrorist country, in disregard of Fidel Castro's systematic efforts to demonstrate the island’s willingness to cooperate in counterterrorist efforts.
