International Political Economy: Cuba & U.S. Relations
The United States first imposed an economic embargo on Cuba in the 1960s after Fidel Castro overthrew the U.S.-backed government and established ties with the Soviet Union. The embargo aimed to destabilize Castro's regime without military force. However, after 50 years the embargo has had little effect in achieving this goal, and Cuba's economy remains tied to exports like sugar, oil and tourism. With Castro no longer in power and the international community opposing the embargo, recent U.S. presidents have begun lifting some sanctions, suggesting further reforms may be forthcoming.

Timeline of U.S.-Cuba Relations
Answers of the given Questions in the book
U.S. Cuba Trade
- Before 1959, the US was Cuba's main trading partner, with Florida being Cuba's largest state partner. Cuba exported 85% of goods to the US.
- Fidel Castro became president of Cuba in 1959 and established a socialist/communist government, straining relations with the US.
- The US imposed an economic embargo on Cuba in 1960 which remains in place today, though some agricultural/medical exports are now permitted. The embargo aims to pressure Cuba on human rights issues.
Impact of US - Cuba relationship on Trade
The document summarizes the impact of the U.S.-Cuba relationship on trade. [1] Before 1959, the U.S. and Cuba had strong economic ties, with the U.S. being Cuba's largest trading partner and over 85% of Cuban exports going to the U.S. [2] After the Cuban revolution in 1959, relations soured and the U.S. imposed an embargo, banning trade with Cuba. [3] Lifting the embargo could generate over $8-20 billion in annual U.S. exports and create over 250,000 American jobs by taking advantage of Cuba's labor force and agricultural exports.
Cuba-US normalization of relations and impacts on the Caribbean
The presentation discuss the dynamics behind the announcement of the restablishment of Cuba - U.S. diplomatic relations and some important consequences for the Caribbean
U.S. embargo on Cuba
The document provides background on the ongoing US embargo against Cuba that was imposed in 1962. It discusses the arguments for and against maintaining the embargo, as well as new developments in US-Cuba relations in recent years. This includes President Obama announcing in 2014 that diplomatic relations would be restored between the two countries for the first time since 1961, though the embargo remains in place. Responses from Cuban American senators expressed skepticism about normalization of relations.
B416 The Evolution of Global Economies Seminar 7
The document summarizes the history of trade relations between the United States and Cuba. It discusses how Cuba relied heavily on trade with the US prior to Fidel Castro's rise to power in 1959. After 1959, the US instituted a trade embargo against Cuba and severed all diplomatic relations. Over time, global support for the embargo has diminished as former supporters now trade with Cuba. There is debate over whether the embargo should remain in place or if the US should normalize trade relations with Cuba as a means to encourage political change. Some argue lifting the embargo could provide economic opportunities for US companies in Cuba, while others view the embargo as a relic of the Cold War that is no longer justified.
Americans Forgotten the Claims Against Cuba
In 1964, the U.S. Congress passed legislation allowing the Foreign Claims Settlement Commission to open up the Cuba Claims program, with the intention to certify and verify what the American businesses and individual families had lost due to expropriation, and to determine a dollar value of lost assets for each claim. In the end, after all the data and documentation collection was complete, 5,913 Americans were able to have their lost assets certified by our United States Government, and we are referred to as the U.S. Certified Claimants.

Cuba presentation powerpoint
The document summarizes U.S.-Cuba relations and sanctions over the past 50 years. It outlines the timeline of sanctions and policies under different administrations. While initially imposed for national security reasons during the Cold War, the sanctions have had little impact on Cuba's regime but have strengthened Castro's power. Present-day Cuba is no longer a threat, but the issue remains politicized. Removing sanctions could open a $1 billion agricultural market for the U.S. and improve relations with allies opposed to the embargo.
A timeline of relations between cuba and the us

Part 1. Nation Report
Fidel Castro formally retired as Cuban president in 2008 after 32 years, though he had previously transferred power to his brother Raul in 2006 for health reasons. Cuba has a state-controlled planned economy and relies heavily on Venezuelan oil, but its economy has struggled since the 1990s due to the loss of Soviet aid. The U.S. established an embargo on Cuba in 1960 due to tensions over property expropriation and Cuba's transition to Marxist-Leninism, though relations have evolved over the decades.
Political risk trade embargo
Economic and trade sanctions are imposed by countries to force policy changes in target countries regarding issues like national security, human rights, and democratization. The US places trade sanctions on Cuba since 1961 to encourage democratization and because Castro seized US properties. Over time, the sanctions have restricted exports, imports, financial transactions, and government assistance with Cuba. While sanctions aim to isolate Cuba, they also prevent US businesses from engaging in industries like tourism, oil, nickel, and agriculture where Cuba has potential for trade. Loosening sanctions could allow more US agricultural exports and benefit companies in travel, tourism, and other industries seeking to enter the Cuban market.
Usa economy
The United States is located in North America, bordered by Canada and Mexico. It has 50 states and Washington D.C. as its capital. The US has a population of over 300 million people and its currency is the US Dollar. Some of the national symbols of the US include the bald eagle, the Statue of Liberty, and the White House. The US has a diverse population composed of people from various ethnic and racial backgrounds.

The document discusses several questions related to the US trade embargo on Cuba. For Question 1, it provides arguments on both sides of whether the US should tighten its economic grip on Cuba. It notes the embargo does not impact Cuba's trade with other nations and is inconsistent with the UN position. For Question 2, it asks if the US should normalize business relations with Cuba and if any conditions should be stipulated. For Question 3, it asks what type of trade relationship would be in Fidel Castro's best interest and what he would be willing to accept. It provides background on Castro and notes he would want direct US aid to save Cuba's economy while preventing influence causing social/political change. For Question 4, it states the US
Cuba
Cuba is an island country located 90 miles south of Florida. It has been ruled by a communist government led by Fidel Castro since 1959. The United States maintains an economic embargo on Cuba and operates a naval base at Guantanamo Bay through a lease agreement. There is ongoing debate over whether the U.S. should maintain the embargo or work to normalize relations with Cuba.
Cuban revolution 2011
The Cuban Revolution overthrew the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista in 1959, led by Fidel Castro. Castro established a communist government in Cuba and seized property owned by Americans and Cubans. This strained relations with the United States, who did not approve of a communist country so close. The failed Bay of Pigs invasion and Cuban Missile Crisis further deteriorated relations between the two countries. Due to the US embargo and Cuba's communist policies, Cuba's economy declined significantly.

Cuban revolution
Fidel Castro led a revolutionary movement against the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista in Cuba from 1955-1959. After years of fighting, Castro defeated Batista's government and established a communist government in Cuba. The US initially supported Castro but relations soured as Castro nationalized foreign-owned businesses and allied with the Soviet Union. This led to failed US-backed invasions of Cuba and the Cuban Missile Crisis, after which the US imposed a trade embargo on Cuba that remains in place today.
Cubanrevolution
The Cuban Revolution began in the 1950s as a response to the oppressive dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista. Fidel Castro led a rebel group against Batista's government, eventually overthrowing him in 1959 and establishing a communist government in Cuba. This damaged Cuba's relationship with the United States, leading to an ongoing trade embargo. The Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 brought the US and Soviet Union to the brink of nuclear war over Soviet missiles placed in Cuba. Castro's communist policies weakened Cuba's economy over decades. He resigned as president in 2008 and was succeeded by his brother Raul.
Cuba 2
The document provides background information on the Cuban Revolution led by Fidel Castro that overthrew the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista in 1959. It discusses how Castro launched a rebel campaign against Batista's government for seven years, finally defeating Batista and establishing a communist government in Cuba. This led to tensions with the US and a decades-long economic embargo, as Castro nationalized American-owned businesses and allied with the Soviet Union.
Cuban revolution 1
The Cuban Revolution led by Fidel Castro overthrew the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista in 1959. Castro established a communist government and close ties with the Soviet Union, worsening relations with the United States.

Castro ruled Cuba as a dictator until illness forced him to resign in 2008, passing power to his brother Raul.
EconEssay
Cuba's economy has fluctuated in the last 20 years due to international relations, GDP growth, and natural disasters. Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, Cuba's GDP declined sharply as it lost its largest trading partner. Sugar production was also impacted by hurricanes in the early 1990s. While nickel and oil production have provided some economic gains, sugar and oil still dominate Cuba's economy. Of the three major exports (sugar, oil, nickel), nickel may offer the lowest risk investment opportunity due to steady global demand, though state ownership policies still concern investors. Overall, Cuba's economy remains vulnerable as a single-commodity exporter and further diversification is needed for long-term stability.
CUBADB20150507
The economist forecasts slower GDP growth of 1.5% in Cuba for 2015, down from previous estimates, due to recessions in key trading partners like Venezuela and lower commodity prices reducing export revenues. While economic reforms are gradually opening the economy, growth will likely remain at 1-3% annually over the near term due to continued state control and US sanctions. Improving ties with countries like Russia, Spain, and the US raise prospects for foreign investment and tourism growth that could accelerate Cuba's economic development in the longer run if reforms continue.
Cuba
Cuba is an island country located in the Caribbean Sea, east of Mexico and south of the United States. It has a long history of colonial rule by Spain followed by temporary American control in the early 20th century. Fidel Castro led a communist revolution in 1959 and established a socialist government aligned with the Soviet Union. Cuba has a population of over 11 million people and its economy relies heavily on exports like sugar, tobacco, and nickel as well as services like tourism and medical professionals. Baseball and boxing are very popular sports in Cuba.
CUBA BY MUAVIA
The document provides an overview of the Republic of Cuba, including its history, government, economy, and foreign relations. Some key points:
- Cuba was discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1492 and became a Spanish colony. It gained independence from the US in 1902 after the Spanish-American War.
- Fulgencio Batista first ruled as an elected president then as a dictator from 1934-1959. Fidel Castro led a revolution against Batista in 1959 and established a communist government.
- Cuba is now ruled by the Communist Party of Cuba as a one-party socialist republic. Raúl Castro succeeded his brother Fidel as president in 2006.
- The US maintains an economic embargo against
Mfgx
Cuba has been a one-party communist state led by the Castro brothers since 1959. Currently, Raul Castro leads the country after Fidel Castro stepped down in 2008 due to health issues. Cuba's economy has struggled with periods of depression and reliance on aid from allies like Venezuela. In the 1990s, economic reforms like legalizing foreign investment and the U.S. dollar helped Cuba recover from loss of aid from the former Soviet Union. The U.S. established an embargo on trade with Cuba in 1960 and still aims to transform Cuba's government, causing economic and social issues, though some restrictions have lifted in recent years.

5. Discuss the pros and cons of American business being excluded by .pdf
5. Discuss the pros and cons of American business being excluded by American law (Pres
Kennedy issued an Executive Order) from conducting any form of business activity on the island
of Cuba. Express your perspectives of the European Union and other first world nations (like
Canada) steadfastly generating billion of euros (and other currencies) from trade with Cuba.
Solution
There are significant pros and cons of prohibition of conducting trade with Cuba.
The pros of the prohibition are as follows
1. Cuba has not fulfilled the conditions of lifting the trade Ban which was set up by the US
government.
2. The US government made various attempts to reduce the restrictions of trade. However this
was met with aggression by the Cuban government.
3. There is no benefit to the US government from lifting the trade ban since there are hardly any
private businesses in Cuba.
4. Reversing the embargo could be ruinous to the US image.
The cons of the trade Ban are as follows
1. The rest of the world is in favour of reversing the trade ban and this ban reduces the US
goodwill in the world.
2. The Ban is considered to be ineffective since it was created to make Cuba promote capitalism
but has not made its objective.
3. The ban has an impact on the small and family Run enterprises in United States and is
expensive for the nation.
The main imports of Cuba are food, machinery and fuel. Its major exports are sugar,
pharmaceuticals and tobacco. The main trading partners of Cuba are Venezuela and European
Union. Tourism stemming from Canada has boosted the economy of Cuba. The European Union
is Cubas main trade partner and also the biggest foreign investor in Cuba. Cuba will benefit from
the European Union thematic program which covers issues such as support of
internationalisation of small and medium enterprises as well as increasing the technical
assistance in agriculture. The European Union is also exploring opportunities in fields of culture
and health..
Roaring twenties
This document provides an overview of the economic boom of the 1920s in the United States and its eventual collapse. It discusses factors that contributed to economic growth like industrialization, consumerism, and government deregulation. However, it also notes that the prosperity was unequally distributed. As the decade progressed, speculation in the stock market increased and income inequality grew. Ultimately, the stock market crash of 1929 signaled the start of the Great Depression.

20th Century History: Depth Study: The USA 1919-41
The document provides background information on the US economy from 1919-1941. It discusses several factors that contributed to the economic boom of the 1920s in the US, including innovation, Republican policies favorable to business, mass production techniques, growth of the automobile industry, and mass marketing. However, not all Americans benefited equally from the prosperity. Black Americans, Native Americans, and new immigrants faced discrimination and were often confined to low-paying jobs with poor working conditions. The document also examines causes of the Wall Street crash of 1929 such as widespread speculation in the stock market and declining exports as European markets recovered slowly from World War I.
Grp 1 itf _cuba
This document provides an overview of Cuba's trade environment and economy. It details Cuba's administrative divisions and main cities. It also summarizes Cuba's economic performance in 2012, noting GDP growth rates in various sectors. The document outlines that Cuba is highly dependent on foreign trade, conducted through import/export companies, and that it trades with over 3,000 foreign firms. It provides information on Cuba's participation in international trade organizations and adherence to international trade regulations. Current events relating to Cuba's trade, agriculture, economy and foreign relations are also summarized.
U.S. Food and Agricultural Exports to Cuba - Uncertain Times Ahead
The document summarizes a presentation about U.S. food and agricultural exports to Cuba from 2000-2011. It finds that exports increased dramatically after 2001 when trade was allowed, with the U.S. becoming Cuba's top supplier by 2002. However, U.S. exports have declined since 2008 as Cuba imports more from other countries like Brazil, which surpassed the U.S. as Cuba's largest supplier in 2011. The future of U.S. exports is uncertain as Cuba aims to reduce imports and other countries invest in Cuba's agricultural sector.

By the Middle of the 18th Century Cuba had become a Socialist State in 3 sentences:
After the 1959 Cuban Revolution led by Fidel Castro overthrew the Batista regime, Castro declared Cuba a socialist state and instituted socialist economic policies like nationalizing industries. Cuba became increasingly dependent on the Soviet Union for economic support and aligned politically with other communist states, establishing a one-party socialist system. This prompted the U.S. to cut ties and impose a trade embargo, solidifying Cuba's transition to a socialist state.
