Professor and researcher at the Iberoamericana University (Mexico City). PhD. in Political Science from FLACSO-Mexico. Specialized in republican institutional history in Cuba, political transition and democratization.
In autocratic, authoritarian or totalitarian regimes, where power is assumed as a staged representation, information loses its character as a public good and becomes an exercise in communicative manipulation.
Cuba is perhaps the most atypical of today's Latin American autocracies. Its history of democratic elections dates back to the period from 1940 to 1950.
