Abstract

This article addresses the question of whether Cuba was a bane or boon to the participation of Latin American nations in the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM). Based on archival research in the Cuban chancellery, this article demonstrates the passive influence and active steps taken by Cuba under the framework of the Non-Alignment, in order to control the presence of the Latin American group within the body of the organization. In this way, we demonstrate the concept of the Non-Alignment that was articulated by Cuba, and discuss the primacy of pragmatic or ideological criteria in the management of its foreign policy.
