A new set of regulations has been implemented by the Bush administration to limit academic, cultural, and educational exchange between Cuba and the United States. The United States’s political priority after the 9/11 attacks, the so-called war on terrorism, could have fostered cooperation between the two countries. Instead—and against the logic of collaborative policies—the Bush administration has taken a series of measures that further threaten the precarious bilateral interactions. As a result, academic and educational exchange has been seriously affected.
