Description
Richard Feinberg, a nonresident senior fellow
in the Latin America Initiative and author of the
forthcoming book, “Open
for Business: Building a New Cuban Economy”
(Brookings, 2016), discusses current U.S. and Cuba relations
after President Obama's visit and looks ahead to Cuba's increasing
engagement with the global economy.
“The younger generation does have
a respect for Fidel Castro and what the older generation
accomplished,” Feinberg says. “They want to see a fresh generation
of leadership, they want to see a more relaxed political
atmosphere, they want more opportunities economically to exercise
their own profession and exercise their own talents. They want and
fully expect normal relations between Cuba and the United
States.” In this podcast, Feinberg explains how Cuba can
reintegrate itself into global economy while encouraging a gradual
opening of economic relations with the U.S.
Also in this podcast, meet new
scholar Susan
Hennessey, fellow in National Security in Governance
Studies and stay tuned for our presidential election update
