For July and early August 2020, and in the run up to the Association for the Study of the Cuban Economy (ASCE) conference From the Castros to COVID: An ASCE Virtual Conference (13-15 August 2020; Concept Note HERE), ASCE will be organizing a series of interviews of individuals who will be participating in the upcoming conference.
The interviews explore in more detail some of the issues that will be presented at the Conference and also will introduce some of ASCE's key actors. The object is to get to know us better as well as to begin to engage in some of the more important issues facing Cuba, Cuba-US relations, and the regional situation in the Caribbean. Larry Catá Backer hosts the interviews. All interviews may be accessed free of charge. They are posted to the ASCE YouTube Channel, and may be accessed as well on the Coalition for Peace and Ethics YouTube Channel. They may also be accessed by scanning the QR Code on your mobile phone or other device.

Our next interview is with Dr. Prof. Rafael Velazquez Perez (Universities of Holguin (Cuba) and Vigo (Spain).We spoke about the structure and operation of Cuba's bilateral economic relations, the effects of the pandemic on the character and operation of those relations, the way that pandemic may be reshaping Cuba's bilateral economic relations with its key partners (China, Iran, Venezuela; Spain, etc.), the future course of Cuba's bilateralism especially in the context of regional integration, and lastly his ideas for reform centered on the development of a mechanism for inbound investment by small and medium size enterprises directly with actors in the private sector. His book, Inversiones extranjeras sostenibles: Un análisis alternativo del Derecho internacional de inversiones enfocado sobre Cuba (Bosch editor, 2015) provided a solid basis for the discussion that followed.
