Political Game between Cuba and the USA
Before I came to New Zealand I have spent six months in Miami, Florida in the United States of America. While I was there during "Thanksgiving" (24th of November 1999) Elian Gonzalez was found in the sea and picked up by a fish-boat of the United States (further abbreviated as U.S.). Elian was placed in his cousin's family and the relatives started a lawsuit to get the custody over Elian. He has been with his relatives during all the court hearings. Now eight months later he has been re-united with his father but he has been emotionally damaged for life.(In the further essay Elian Gonzalez will be referred to 'Elian' or 'boy'. President Fidel Castro will be referred to 'Castro'.)I will use the framework of Negotiation to show the case analysis and will end with a conclusion. I will not handle the "Bargaining", while that is not relevant in this case. Everything will be discussed in Negotiation."Negotiation is a field of knowledge and endeavor that focuses on gaining the favor of people from whom we want things". (Cohen, 1980)The relatives decided to negotiate when they decided that they wanted to have custody over Elian.BATNA's (Best Alternative to a Negotiated Agreement
For CUBAPower Power was on the Cubans side. Before starting this paper my opinion was that Elian should stay in the U. I think that both parties in this case do not think of the other party as human beings. Neither of the parties would be happy when the custody over Elian would go to the opposite party. This is not helping the Miami relatives; the compassion of the "world" is gone! And by having Elian in the news every single day people will get fed up with it. The Elian negotiators: Ships passing in the night.
