Abstract:
Cuba is approaching a crossroads regarding the future of its economic system. The paper begins with an overview of Cuba’s vital statistics and then discusses the country’s changing political landscape that has already triggered some selected -- albeit very modest -- changes. We review the long history of foreign country involvement in Cuba’s affairs in order to put the tortured relations with the United States into sharper focus. Part 3 describes the methodological framework used to highlight Cuba’s major weaknesses, and we conclude that the distortions that have been compounded over fifty years can be unwound only by introducing a comprehensive reform program that embraces new leadership and new thinking.
