Cuba After Castro: Legacies, Challenges, and Impediments

Accompanies and supports the Cuba After Castro monograph report with more-detailed analyses of the political, social, demographic, and economic problems confronting Cuba; When the end of the Castro era arrives, the government that succeeds Fide! Castro and the Cuban people will need answers to certain questions: How is CastroOs four-decade-plus rule likely to affect a post-Castro Cuba? What are the political, social, and economic challenges Cuba will confront? What are the impediments to be surmounted if Cuba is to develop economically and embark on a democratic transition? The five appendices in this report constitute a companion volume to the RAND Corporation report Cuba After Castro: Legacies, Challenges, and Impediments (MG-111-RC, 2004).
