This prescient book, published only eight months before President Obama's historic announcement at the end of 2014, provides answers to that question and offers a roadmap for a sequenced lifting of the Cold War era economic sanctions against Cuba. The authors, Gary Clyde Hufbauer and Barbara Kotschwar, lay out the difficulties of achieving a dynamic economic relationship. They caution that a unilateral dismantling of US sanctions without insuring that proper institutions are in place in Cuba could squander this golden opportunity for US companies and hurt Cubans. They argue that US policies should encourage Cuba to liberalize its economy and adopt democratic institutions, so that it does not transition from a Communist dictatorship to a corrupt and authoritarian oligarchy. This farsighted book, produced in anticipation of an opening with Cuba that seemed impossible to some skeptics, is a must-read for anyone interested in the evolution of a historically contentious relationship that promises to evolve productively if the right policies are pursued. 410 0$aPolicy Analyses in International Economics Series 606 $aRegions & Countries - Americas$2HILCC 606 $aHistory & Archaeology$2HILCC 606 $aUnited States - General$2HILCC 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$zCuba 607 $aCuba$xForeign relations$zUnited States 615 7$aRegions & Countries - Americas 615 7$aHistory & Archaeology 615 7$aUnited States - General 676 $a327.7307291 700 $aHufbauer$b Gary Clyde$0121684 702 $aKotschwar$b Barbara 801 0$bPQKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910955048903321 996 $aEconomic normalization with Cuba : a roadmap for US policymakers$94349720 997 $aUNINA
