Cuba; civil society; social formation; development model.
Taking as fundamental milestones the rise of Raúl Castro in 2008 and the VI Congress of the Party Communist Party of Cuba (PCC) in 2011, Cuba has undergone a gradual process of presented as an update of a development model bureaucratic and inefficient, generating profound effects on the socioeconomic structure of the country, with the rise of new classes and class fractions, and, along with them, new conceptions of development. Faced with this picture, a problem is manifested: what are these classes and fractions of class that form the new Cuban civil society and how is the dispute between their interests? O This project arises with the purpose of answering this question, taking as general objective understand the new shape of Cuban civil society after a decade of updating the model of development, understanding it as a dynamic and procedural element of the Cuban reality. The specific objectives that will help us in this research are the following: to identify the classes social and class fractions in Cuba; the main economic changes in the last ten years. years and its effects on the formation of a new economic structure; locate the main the Cuban economy, as well as the different conceptions in its overcoming; and understand the perspectives that exist with the end of the Castro Era that will take place in 2018. We take as a central hypothesis that the new social classes are not incompatible with the current model, but as they assume increasing roles in economic life, pressure for an increasingly intense market opening. This research will be essentially from a bibliographical review about the concepts of civil society, hegemony, model of development and social classes, among others, as well as about the current socioeconomic structure in Cuba. Periodicals specializing in social sciences in Cuba will be very important right now. To it is added a documentary research, with the collection of statistical data about the Cuban economy and society, as well as possible speeches and party resolutions. A field survey with interviews with several segments of the Cuban civil society will be an essential step in the research. This project is justified to the extent which proposes to offer a qualified analysis on the current economic and social Cuba - the largest national economy in Central America and the Caribbean and the main Brazilian region - which are poorly addressed or poorly addressed.
