Cuba in the Caribbean: Post-Cotonou scenarios

This chapter aims to set out the possible scenarios for Cuba’s inclusion in the Caribbean agenda following the post-Cotonou agreements. To do so, it considers the socio-cultural and political geographical specificities of the parties to the new agreement, along with their international relations and historical legacy. The individual conditions in which the Cuban government might sign up to the new agreement are identified by using a SWOT analysis, which takes in Cuba’s strengths and weaknesses and potential opportunities and threats.
