FPA blogger Richard Basas discusses COHA’s recent article—“No ‘Common Policy’ as Europe Grapples over its Future Ties to Cuba“—in this post on the Latin America blog. He addresses the difficulty the EU faces in adopting a single policy toward Cuba when its member states have diverse levels of connection to the island: Spain, which has a closer and more complex relationship with Cuba than other European nations, has more of a stake in how the bloc treats the island. The fact that Spain seeks to change the EU’s Common Position toward Cuba reflects these ties.
