Cuba and the Future

In Cuba and the Future, nine leading Cubanologists analyze the causes, nature, and scope of the Cuban crisis and assess the prospects for the future. They suggest that in spite of the severity of the crisis–which Castro himself calls the worst in the country’s history–the regime may well survive, at least for the near-to-intermediate future. Although the forces undermining political stability are enormous, there are also powerful factors reinforcing the state’s control.
