Alter-Globalization

Strongly agree

Yes

Alter-globalization movements generally support the lifting of trade and travel embargoes as a means to foster better international relations, cultural exchange, and economic development, especially for marginalized countries. They argue that such embargoes are forms of economic coercion that disproportionately harm ordinary citizens rather than effect political change. The lifting of the embargo on Cuba by President Obama could be seen as a step towards a more equitable and just global order, aligning with alter-globalization values of solidarity and cooperation over isolation and punishment.

Disagree

No, lift the travel embargo but do not allow trade until Cuba becomes a democratic republic

While this position might seem to offer a compromise by lifting the travel embargo, it still uses trade as a tool for political leverage, which alter-globalization movements might find problematic. They generally oppose conditional engagements that use economic means to enforce political changes, arguing that such strategies can undermine sovereignty and self-determination. However, the partial lifting of restrictions might be viewed slightly more favorably than a complete embargo, hence the less negative score.

Strongly disagree

No

Alter-globalization advocates typically oppose policies that isolate and economically punish entire populations for the actions of their governments. They believe in engagement, dialogue, and the power of cultural and economic exchange to foster change and mutual understanding. Maintaining the embargo would be contrary to these principles, as it perpetuates hardship for the Cuban people and hinders opportunities for constructive engagement.
