The declining symbolic significance of the Embargo for South Florida's Cuban Americans
Latino Studies, 2010Co-Authors: Chris Girard, Guillermo J Grenier, Hugh GladwinAbstract:The latest survey – in a series extending from 1991 to 2008 – shows for the first time that the US trade Embargo no longer enjoys majority support among South Florida's Cuban Americans. This erosion of support may not be entirely a result of the failure of the Embargo to accomplish its proclaimed goal. Nearly 50 years of economic sanctions against Cuba have not precipitated the Castro regime's compliance or collapse. Yet, majority support for the Embargo was sustained across all Cuban American immigration cohorts and generations in a 2004 survey ( N =1807). Significantly, the same survey shows that specific components of a full Embargo – banning or restricting food, medicine and travel – obtained no more than minority support in any cohort arriving after 1981. This apparent discrepancy suggests that the Embargo – embedded in an “exile ideology” – had become a more palatable, over-arching anti-Castro symbol than have specific anti-Castro sanctions. Logistic Regression results show that with respect to anti-Castro measures, sanctions incurring tangible costs generate the greatest disagreement among South Florida's Cuban Americans. Ultimately, in December 2008, even a largely symbolic expression of the exile ideology, Republican registration, was no longer embraced by a majority of Cuban Americans who had either recently immigrated or were born outside Cuba.

Trading with the Embargoed: State Decisions to Violate United Nations Arms Embargoes
2020Co-Authors: Matthew MooreAbstract:Nearly every international arms Embargo has been systemically violated by arms exporting states. Although much work has been done exploring why states transfer arms, little has been done to answer the question of why states choose to violate arms Embargoes. Earlier studies have found that states transfer arms to one another for a variety of economic and strategic reasons. This study constructs a time-series-cross-section data set in order to test if the same interests that drive dyadic arms transfers also influence the likelihood and size of arms Embargo violations. Using logit and Heckman models of dyadic arms transfers this study finds that measures for import dependence and alliance portfolio similarity best predict the likelihood and size of arms Embargo violations. These results provide evidence that state decisions to violate Embargoes are driven by strategic interests more than economic interests.

arming the Embargoed a supply side understanding of arms Embargo violations
Journal of Conflict Resolution, 2010Co-Authors: Matthew MooreAbstract:Nearly every international arms Embargo has been systemically violated by arms exporting states. Although much work has been done exploring why states transfer arms, little has been done to answer the question of why states choose to violate arms Embargoes. Earlier studies have found that states transfer arms to one another for a variety of economic and strategic reasons. This study constructs a time series cross-section data set to test whether the same interests that drive dyadic arms transfers also influence the likelihood and size of arms Embargo violations. Using a two-stage model of dyadic arms transfers, this study finds that measures for arms import dependence and alliance portfolio similarity best predict the likelihood and size of arms Embargo violations. These results provide evidence that state decisions to violate Embargoes are driven by political interests more than economic interests.

effects of financial autarky and integration the case of the south africa Embargo
Journal of International Money and Finance, 2009Co-Authors: Brahima CoulibalyAbstract:The economic Embargo imposed on South Africa between 1985 and 1993 brought the country closer to financial isolation. This paper interprets the imposition and removal of the Embargo as financial autarky and financial integration ‘natural experiments’, and studies the effects on the economy. The aggregate data indicate a decrease in the levels and growth rates of investment, capital, and output during the Embargo period relative to the pre-Embargo and post-Embargo periods. To further rationalize the findings in the aggregate data, we calibrate a neoclassical growth model to the South African economy. During the transition to steady-state, we model the Embargo by limiting the country’s ability to borrow for a period corresponding to the duration of the Embargo. The derived dynamics for investment, capital, and output support the view of a positive (negative) link between financial integration (isolation) and economic growth.

the effect of an international Embargo on malnutrition and childhood mortality in rural haiti
International Journal of Health Services, 2007Co-Authors: Britt C Reid, Walter J Psoter, Bette Gebrian, Min Qi WangAbstract:The study objective was to determine the effect of an international Embargo against Haiti, from October 1991 through October 1994, on early childhood protein-energy malnutrition and all-cause mortality in a geographic area where humanitarian aid was continuously available to the children in the study. The authors used longitudinal anthropometric records on 1,593 children, 24 months old or younger, living in the rural Grand Anse Department of Haiti from 1989 through 1996. Kaplan-Meier graphs for all-cause mortality accounting for malnutrition status and stratified by calendar period were applied to the database and assessed using logrank tests. Adjusted relative risks were assessed by Cox regression. The results show that despite the continuous availability of preventive services (1989–1996), higher all-cause mortality was more strongly associated with a calendar period coinciding with the international Embargo than with periods before and after the Embargo. The incidence of childhood mortality and of seve...
