When Fidel Castro departs, Cuba will reach a crossroads.  Once Cuba’s communist caudillo — or strongman — leaves the scene, his successors will be saddled with daunting political, social, demographic, and economic problems — in short, a vast array of dysfunctional legacies from the fidelista past.

The authors examine Castro’s political legacies, Cuba’s generational and racial divisions, its demographic predicament, the legacy of a centralized economy, and the need for industrial restructuring.  They argue that a post-Castro regime that attempts to remain communist may find itself in a cul-de-sac where old policies and instruments no longer work.  If such a regime should falter, a democratic-leaning replacement government is only a remote possibility.  The country will face severe and simultaneous challenges on several fronts: an alienated younger generation, a growing racial divide, an aging population, and a deformed economy.  Cuba’s civil-society and market actors appear to be too embryonic, and democratic political opposition forces too decimated, for democracy to take hold naturally.  Gonzalez and McCarthy note that the Cuban Armed Forces (FAR) are certain to play an important role in the post-Castro transition.  How constructive FAR’s role will be remains to be seen, but likely it will be contingent not only on post-Castro succession dynamics at play within Cuba but also on U.S. policy and the actions of the Cuban-American community.

The appendices, published together as a separate volume and listed at a separate url below, comprise the following:  The Legacies of Fidelismo and Totalitarianism; The Politics of Youth in Cuba: Patterns, Dynamics, and Future Challenges; Cuba’s Demographic Future and Its Implications; The Legacies of Socialism: Some Implications for the Cuban Transition; The Cuban Sugar Industry After the Transition.
