Omschrijving
Samenvatting:The Sixth Congress of the Cuban Communist Party adopted market-oriented reforms in Cuba’s internal economy. What explains the contents of this agenda? Why has it been gradually implemented? Does it allow a space for democracy?

Finally, we confirm the absence of any type of democratic impulse coming from above. But what if this impulse is originated below?
