Abstract
This chapter provides the foundation upon which this book is based—the substantive and procedural changes which have been taking place since December 2014, ranging from the re-establishment of diplomatic relations until President Obama ending the “wet foot, dry foot” policy. This chapter also identifies the concrete ways in which these changes have been manifested, especially in promoting joint dialogue and cooperation between Cuba and the United States.
