Description

The relationship between Mexico and Cuba grabbed international headlines early within the twenty-first century as a result of a rift in a relationship in most cases understood to be unique, special, and friendly since Fidel Castro’s upward push to power in Cuba in 1959. Much of the goodwill between the 2 countries existed because Mexico retained its allegiance to Cuba between 1964 and 1970 when all other Latin American countries severed relations with Cuba.

In some of the first English-language studies to inspect relationships in a trilateral context, Christopher White portrays a broad-based history of this unique and complex association and identifies the processes that led to the up to date strain between the 2 countries. White asserts that Mexico and Cuba utilized the Cold War to define themselves as influential leaders within the developing world through their exertion of autonomy in international relations. White also views this relationship for example of an alternative path from that taken by many developing world nations that buckled under the pressures of being caught between america and the Soviet Union.
