Abstract

Cuba and the United States are going through a period of transition. Domestically, Cuba needs to increase the performance of its economy. Externally, it must establish a new type of business relationship and negotiate with more countries. For its part, domestically, the United States needs more social justice in order to regain the economic performance and achievements of capitalism. Externally, it can no longer make decisions unilaterally. It has ceased to occupy a dominant place in the world economy. Consequently, Cuba and the United States are two mutually suspicious entities, committed to a contradictory course due to the efforts of one and the other to adapt their internal and external structures to the new international conditions. Although the Cuban situation deserves so much attention, this analysis focuses primarily on the North American side of the relationship.
