  • Summary

    This chapter focuses on the Republic of Cuba, a small South American neighbor of the US, which has endured near-comprehensive sanctions unilaterally imposed by the US for over six decades squarely because of the nation’s unyielding adherence to the communist ideology. The chapter uncovers historical layers of the sanctions regimes, along with their legal underpinnings, navigating through the Kennedy to Trump administrations, and exploring the extraterritorial natures of some of the key legislations, such as the Cuban Democracy Act (1992) and the Helms–Burton Act (1996). The chapter also assesses the impacts of prolonged sanctions regimes on Cuba’s economy and population.
