Abstract: This paper assesses the impact of the measures on domestic politics in Cuba and the United States. We begin by establishing the status of US-Cuban relations during the 1990s and early part of the 200s. We then turn to the May 6th announcement by President George W. Bush and a review of the actual policy changes enacted in May 2004. The reasons behind the altered policies – both stated and implied – are then explored. Next we examine the impact of these new regulations on Cubans and Cuban-Americans. Drawing upon interviews conducted in Cuba as well as survey data from Cuban-Americans, we investigate whether or not the goals of the policy have been or are likely to be achieved. We conclude with a short discussion concerning the most recent responses of the Cuban government.
