- This 239-page monograph results from 15 years of interviews with people in and around Cuba's decision-making structures since 1959, and from extensive close reading of newspapers, periodicals and reports from Cuba. It challenges the non-Cuban orthodoxy on decision-making in post-1959 Cuba (which tends to be obsessively ‘Fidel-centric'). By tracing the continuity (until 2014) of the personnel and responsibilities of what it identifies as three circles of decision-making and decision-shaping power within the evolving leadership-group, it offers a new interpretation of the accepted notion of a top-down autocracy, suggesting that it is an over-simplification of a more complex and collective reality.
