This book addresses the relationship between the Russian Federation
and Cuba from 1992 to the present, the period since the
disintegration of the Soviet Union. Mervyn J. Bain analyzes the
reasons why the relationship between Havana and Moscow continues to
thrive even after the end of the Cold War and the death of
international socialism. He argues that there are five main areas
to be studied in order to understand why the Russians and Cubans
have maintained close cultural and political ties well into the
twenty-first century. Bain first explores the effects the
disintegration of the Soviet Union had on the relationship between
Moscow and Havana in the years since 1992. He goes on to describe
how the two countries have adapted (or failed to adapt) to the New
World Order and the ways in which their foreign policy have changed
the shape of their dialogue with each other. The third and fourth
sections detail both the impact of globalization and the increased
cultural, economic, and military exchange between Russians and
Cubans. Bain concludes by showing readers the importance of placing
the Russian-Cuban relationship in an international context,
especially highlighting the influence of the United States over it.
This book will be of interest to those interested in post-Soviet
Russian foreign policy, Cuban foreign policy, and international
relations.
