Democracy’s Dimensions and Cuba’s Development in the Aftermath of the Financial Crisis
نویسنده
چکیده
In the political economy literature as applied to development, there is a tendency to view democracy in one-dimensional terms. In this essay we move away from this one-dimensional characterization. This broadening of the concept leads to a re-examination of the literature on the relation between long-term growth or development and democracy. With these two steps accomplished it becomes feasible to identify the main potential paths that the Cuban economy can follow in terms of recent research on social orders. Furthermore, it also becomes feasible to identify the impact of the financial crisis and its aftermath on important features of these social orders.
