About the Event
As the United States’ “Near Abroad,” the Caribbean has always held a central, but unheralded place in American Foreign Policy. Now, with Cuba experiencing its largest protests in decades and with a new government forming in Haiti following the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse, FPRI has brought together a panel of experts to discuss these situations in the context of American foreign policy. FPRI’s Barbara Fick will be joined in conversation by Dr. Alyssa Goldstein Sepinwall of California State University – San Marcos and Dr. Michael Bustamante of Florida International University to discuss the history of U.S. involvement in the Caribbean, what’s really going on in Cuba and Haiti beneath the headlines, and more.
