- Title
TRANSITION-DENIAL AND STRUCTURAL ADJUSTMENT: CAUSATION AND CULPABILITY IN THE CUBAN ECONOMY.
- Authors

- Abstract
This article examines some economic reforms implemented by the government of Cuba in 2020.1 Called the Tarea Ordenamiento ("Tarea"),2 these reforms involve a type of structural adjustment to the island's economy that is controversial in developing countries. This article makes some observations about the challenges of evaluating the Tarea as a policy instrument.3 Structural adjustment programs are hard to assess because their effects can take decades to become apparent. Judging such a policy in the case of Cuba is particularly complex because U.S. sanctions severely constrain the island's economy. Nevertheless, this article suggests that the Tarea demonstrates Cuba's creeping acquiescence to market forces long repudiated by the Cuban government.
