Faculty:

Mujal-Leon, Eusebio

This seminar will examine the processes of social, economic and political change under way in Cuba and the prospects for democratization. The seminar will review the historical background of Cuban nation-state formation as well as the nature of the current regime and the dimensions of the crises it confronts. We shall endeavor to compare the prospects for democratization in Cuba with the experience of other countries and regimes in Latin America, Southern and Eastern Europe, and Asia. Participants in the seminar are expected to have some familiarity with Latin American politics and/or the literature on democratization.
