Description
Cuba began a process of "rectificacion" in the mid-1980s, a reform project that has bucked the trends of economic and political liberalization that are reshaping the global order. Sustaining an official commitment to socialism in the face of economic crisis and international pressures, Cuba's survival seems puzzling, and this book uses the Cuban experience to investigate the problematic of democracy and democratic change. The author's argument about the democratic possibilities of Cuban socialism focuses on the state, bureaucracy and participation. Identifying bureaucratic domination as a problem for democracy in all modern states, and not unique to socialism or Cuba, she examines questions of bureaucracy and participation through an investigation of Cuban schools.
