CONFLICT: Cuba: Understanding Global Tensions Through an American Lens (Conflict By Alexander West, Band 2) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Cuba is one of America’s closest neighbors—and one of its longest-running conflicts.

For more than sixty years, the relationship between the United States and Cuba has been defined by mistrust, isolation, and unresolved tension. Often treated as a Cold War relic, Cuba’s conflict persists not because of dramatic confrontation, but because neither side has fundamentally changed its core priorities.

CONFLICT: Cuba explains this enduring standoff in clear, accessible language, helping American readers understand how history, ideology, economics, and proximity continue to shape the relationship today.

Rather than arguing for a specific policy or political position, this book focuses on facts, incentives, and tradeoffs. It examines how Cuba’s political system developed, what its leadership wants, and how decades of U.S. policy have influenced conditions on the island—often in unintended ways.

Inside, readers will explore:

• How Cuba’s conflict with the United States took shape and why it persists

• The values and worldview that guide Cuba’s leadership

• How migration, trade restrictions, and proximity affect Americans

• The economic and strategic implications of continued isolation

• What realistic policy options exist—and their limitations

Part of the CONFLICT series by Alexander West, this book offers a calm, non-partisan examination of global tensions through an American lens.

If you want understanding instead of slogans, CONFLICT: Cuba provides the context needed to make sense of one of America’s most enduring foreign policy challenges.
