Cuba and Mexico: Impressions of a first-time visitor to Cuba

MEI Market Note 080: Cuba and Mexico: Impressions of a first-time visitor to Cuba

CUBA — This report, based on a four-day visit to Cuba (October 19-22, 2015), offers a half-dozen comparisons with Mexican society and public institutions. Cuba and Mexico have maintained diplomatic relations during the decades of the American export embargo, and each society has iconic status in the other. Table 1 compares the access to Internet of Mexico, Cuba and China. Table 2 is a list of some 30 features of the two societies where a binary contrast may be made (yes/no).

A selection from Table 2 was published in Spanish in Excesior: http://www.excelsior.com.mx/opinion/ricardo-pascoe-pierce/2015/10/30/1054249.
