Cuba in Transition: Communism vs Charisma 'Who Will Emerge as Cuba's Next Leader'.

摘要

For the past 40 years Cuba has maintained a socialist society firmly engrained in ideological beliefs. The beliefs of communism has shaped the hearts and minds of thousands of cubans. This paper provides a future perspective on Cuba's transition as well as identifies potential actors who will emerge as potential leaders once Fidel Castro is gone. Additionally, the paper will propose that Communism may not survive once Fidel is gone. In fact, the paper proposes that it has been Fidel's Charisma that has allowed him to remain in power and not communism.
