Such arrangements are not foolproof; “[n]evertheless, for most asymmetric relationships most of the time, managing and negotiating the relationship is preferable to hostility” (Womack 2006, p. 21). C UBA -US: ASY MMETRI C REL ATI O N S 29 These historic compromises outline power disparities as a cause of tension in asymmetrical relations while placing the interaction between both states in a broader historical comparative framework than do references solely to Cuban exceptionalism.
