Cuba's Position in its Alliance with the Soviet Union, 1959-1968: Subordinate, or Independent?

Bachelor thesis | International Studies (BA)
Cuba's alignement with the Soviet Union during the Cold War is often regarded as a dependency on the part of Cuba. However, while this may be largely true in the economic and security domains, different viewpoints can certainly be elaborated in terms of politics. This thesis will show that under certain circumstances Cuba was able to influence Soviet policies, suggesting that Cuba was a Super Client.
