The present paper discusses the reestablishment of diplomatic relations between Cuba and the USA, made official in 2014, seeking to analyze its dynamics and the challenges that hinder its effective normalization. In order to do so, it discusses the motivations that led to this process and determined the resumption of diplomatic ties, which had been broken since the beginning of the 1960s, replacing, albeit partially, the conflicting politics that had prevailed in this relationship. It then analyzes the perceptions and main actions since the announcement of such resumption and discusses the demands presented by each party for an effective normalization. In this sense, it presents the Cuban demands (end of the economic embargo, reparations of resources, open and transparent relations, end of programs destined to deprive government of the country, among others) and the American demands (political and economic reforms, civil society and human rights, Indemnities, forms of property, among others), trying to demonstrate that there is a long way to go until the effective normalization of such relationship. Such a path will be determined both by the solution to such demands and by the dynamics of the domestic politics of each country that may or may not lead to overcoming the logic of the conflict that had prevailed.
