Description
During the Obama administration, optimism swelled in U.S.-Cuba relations. On Dec. 17, 2014, the U.S. announced that it would end its policy of hostility and look to engage Cuba. This has led to the restoration of full diplomatic ties, Cuba being removed from the U.S. State Department terrorism list and an agreement to allow commercial air flights between the two countries for the first time in fifty years.
With the change in U.S. administrations in 2016, this optimism turned to pessimism as President Trump threatened to roll back the Obama administration rapprochement. Ultimately, the Trump administration's policies, while leaving key parts of the Obama-era policy intact, reinstate restrictions on Americans traveling to Cuba and U.S. business dealings with the military-run conglomerate.
The recent release detailing these new constraints leaves room for debate on how they will affect the future relationship between the two countries. In Cuba, for its part, these changes take place against a backdrop of a nation preparing for a successor to President Raul Castro in 2018. To discuss these developments, we have invited the following:
Panelists:
- Ana Covarrubias, Director of the International Studies Center, Colegio de Mexico
- Jorge Dominguez, Professor, Harvard University
- Richard Feinberg, Professor, School of Global Policy and Strategy, UC San Diego
- Moderated by Rafael Fernandez de Castro, Professor, School of Global Policy and Strategy, UC San Diego
The event will start with a talk at 5 p.m., followed by a reception at 6 p.m.
The event will take place at the Malamud Conference Room at the Institute of the Americas (map). Closest parking will be at the Pangea Parking Structure. There will be a limited number complimentary parking spaces on a first come, first serve basis. All other spaces will require a permit from the top level pay station. There will be signage to direct you from Pangea to GPS.
Co-sponsored by the GPS Center for U.S.-Mexican Studies.
