ABSTRACT
Historically,
the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias (FARs) of Cuba have held an important role since 1959. In this paper, we offer some ideas
regarding the FAR political and economic power in Cuba’s new political
scenario. This paper explores the role of FAR, the Cuban institution that is
less transparent and most difficult to analyze. It discusses its economic
activities and its relationship with civil society, and offers possible
scenarios for the post Castro era. The article presents these ideas which have
emerged after three visits to Cuba where we carried out 53 interviews in
Havana, Santa Clara, and Cienfuegos.
KEYWORDS
