Description
Presented by Andres Sebastian Pertierra.
My presentation will cover three main topics. First, it will introduce my dissertation project, exploring how Cuban-Spanish relations from the late Cold War to the end of the 1990s played a key role in Cuban regime survival during the economic crisis that followed the fall of the USSR. Second, it will expound on the situation in Cuba today, and third, I will close by examining the somewhat Byzantine process of engaging in academic research in Cuba.
