Reorganising the Political Process

Chapter 24 in Revolution and Economic Development in Cuba, 1981, pp 173-179 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In Chapter 17, it was argued that the nature of the political process is closely related to the socialisation of the work process. And further, the weakness of the organised role of the working class in social decision-making was a basic factor accounting for the organisational weakness, and hence the economic weakness, of the Cuban economy in the late 1960s. Of course, the Cuban working class was not totally denied a role in decision-making processes, but its role was very limited and deteriorating. Consequently it is of special significance that the roles of the mass organisations in Cuba have been re-emphasized in the 1970s and new political forms have been developed which involve the Cuban working class in decision-making.
