Abstract

For a comprehensive understanding, one as close to reality as possible, of the U.S.-Cuban relations it is necessary to study in detail the conceptual foundations and historical background of the U.S. foreign policy towards the Latin American region in general, and towards Cuba in particular. To this end, the author offers a retrospective overview of the U.S. policy in interaction with the Cuban state, taking as a starting point the very formation of the United States as a state from thirteen original colonies. The origins of the U.S.-Cuban interaction, the context of the victory of the Cuban Revolution in 1959, as well as the political motivation of American leaders, both Democratic and Republican, in the context of building relations with Cuba are examined. The political decisions of the U.S. leadership regarding Cuba are immersed into the global dynamics of world political processes and the positioning of the U.S. in the international arena in different periods. Building the sequence of the U.S. relations with the island the author comes to the conclusion that the dialogue with Cuba has always been from the position of force, and it is proven in the article that such approach, often accompanied by unfair destructive actions, remained in place even in the moment of warming, namely during the restoration of relations with Cuba in the years of Barack Obama’s presidency. The author is convinced that the solution of the conflict between the two countries will be realistically possible only when the U.S. government fully recognizes Cuba’s sovereignty and ambitions to be more actively involved in the regional and international agenda.
民主共和时期的古巴与美国:延续还是改变?
为了全面了解美国与古巴的关系,尽可能接近现实,有必要详细研究美国对拉美地区,特别是对古巴的外交政策的概念基础和历史背景。为此,作者回顾了美国与古巴国家互动的政策,以美国作为一个国家的形成为起点,从13个原始殖民地开始。美国与古巴互动的起源,1959年古巴革命胜利的背景,以及美国领导人的政治动机,无论是民主党还是共和党,在与古巴建立关系的背景下进行了审查。美国领导层在古巴问题上的政治决策与世界政治进程的全球动态以及美国在不同时期在国际舞台上的定位息息相关。根据美国与古巴关系的顺序,作者得出结论,与古巴的对话一直是从武力的立场出发的,文章证明,即使在回暖的时刻,即在巴拉克·奥巴马担任总统期间与古巴恢复关系期间,这种做法往往伴随着不公平的破坏性行动,仍然存在。作者深信,只有当美国政府充分承认古巴的主权和更积极地参与区域和国际议程的雄心时,两国之间冲突的解决才有现实的可能。
