Cuba-Russia Connection: Studies in Cultural Diplomacy

Study Abroad

Cultural diplomacy consistently improves relations. Direct, peaceful contact encourages groups to see each other not as stereotypes, but as complex people with common concerns and unique achievements.

Cuba and Russia make for excellent case studies in cultural diplomacy. Their music, literature, and art has extended far beyond their borders, entering the international canons for these forms of human expression. While both might be cast in critical lights for their politics, they are almost always revered for their cultures.

You will visit both Cuba and Russia to better understand this phenomenon. You will participate in classroom discussions as well as a hands-on cultural exploration of Havana and St. Petersburg. You will better understand the cultures, languages, and histories of these lands as well as how their cultural projections continue to affect the image abroad of these two countries that have played strategic and often interrelated roles in US foreign policy.

--Location

Havana is historically and culturally at the heart of Cuba. With a naturally deep harbor and just a few miles from the coast of Florida, Havana has always enjoyed a geostrategic location for both shipping routes and naval strategy. International attention and ready transport routes have also given its vibrant culture more exposure to world audiences and opened the city to multicultural influences. Havana's magnificent Old City colonial, neoclassical, and modernist architecture provide a rich setting for understanding Cuba’s socio-political traditions. This is particularly important as this largest and most dynamic Caribbean island continues its integration into the world economy and international political structures.

St. Petersburg is best known for its cultural tradition and gorgeous imperial palace facades, an intriguing and creative spirit is still alive in the city today. Like the countless bridges linking it together, the city itself connects the past to present and high culture to everyday society. It is Russia's most progressive city, a "gateway" to Europe, and is a hub for education, business, culture, and tourism. The UNECON campus is located on Griboedova Canal, just behind Kazansky Cathedral and about 5 minutes' walk from Nevsky Prospect. There is plenty of shopping, cafes, and attractions nearby and it is a very easy walk or metro ride to many of St. Petersburg’s most famous museums. The University is truly in the very heart of the city center.
