This article examines change and continuity in the United States' recent foreign policy toward Cuba. In the context of the posthegemonic regionalism of the Pink Tide and regional disputes over Cuba's position in the interamerican system, the Obama administration's rapprochement was driven to protect the institutional power and consensual features of U.S. hegemony in the Americas. The Trump administration reversed aspects of Obama's normalization policy, adopting a more coercive approach to Cuba and to Latin America more broadly. Against the emerging scholarly proposition that the international relations of the Americas have crossed a posthegemonic threshold, this analysis utilizes a neo-Gramscian approach to argue that the oscillations in U.S. Cuba policy represent strategic shifts in a broader process of hegemonic reconstitution. The article thus situates U.S. policy toward Cuba in regional structures, institutions, and dynamics.

美国对古巴政策的正常化？和解与地区霸权

本文考察了美国近期对古巴外交政策的变化和连续性。在粉红潮的后霸权地区主义和古巴在美洲体系中地位的地区争端的背景下，奥巴马政府的和解是为了保护美国在美洲霸权的制度力量和共识特征。特朗普政府扭转了奥巴马正常化政策的某些方面，对古巴和更广泛的拉丁美洲采取了更具强制性的方法。针对美洲国际关系已跨越后霸权门槛的新兴学术命题，本分析采用新葛兰西主义方法论证美国古巴政策的波动代表了更广泛的霸权重建过程中的战略转变。
