Abstract
In this document, we find answers to the questions: To what extent did the particular situation of Cuba in the post Second World War era influence the international relations theory? According to the current international relations theory, what are the perspectives for Cuba today? International relations theory is likely to be a functional tool of comprehension of world politics, but it is also to some extent, a result of world politics. In fact, it appears that the Cuban crisis was a turning point in the Cold War and in international relations in general. The modification of the international relation system at the time gave rise to new analysis, leading to new international relations theories. This sequence was even more important after the USSR collapsed and brought an end to the Cold War. The Cuban foreign policy had a major role in shaping the international relation system all along the second half of the twentieth century and participated in elaborating new international relations theories. The actual situation in Cuba is also of great interest. Since the 1960s, the world evolved with Cuba which was still stuck in the same internal situation it was during the Cold War and the same political regime leaded by Fidel Castro.
