Research. Relationships. Reconstruction.
A place to study what comes next—and bring together the people who want to help build it. Explore the questions, evidence and possibilities behind a democratic Cuba’s reconstruction.
Our focus is a future free, democratic, post-communist Cuba. Reconstruction is a scenario to study; its timing and path remain unknown.

03 / Havana Economic Review
CSP’s research publication follows transition questions and develops future-Cuba scenarios. Article dates, bylines and sources stay attached to the work.
All published coverage
OFAC now administers two Cuba sanctions rulebooks, while the State Department's BICSA designation shows why a democratic transition would need a public sanctions ledger.

Six research desks for a possible democratic Cuba, updated with WFP testimony on food, fuel and distribution failures and tests for future reconstruction.

Washington is tightening sanctions as Cuban-American institutions begin planning for reconstruction. The missing piece is a credible first-year transition plan.

The State Department's 100-page Cuba report announces no new action. Read against how Washington built its case before capturing Maduro, it is something more telling: the first move of a sequence Cuba's leaders have already watched play out next door.

For 47 years, you could drive your car onto a ship in Florida and drive it off in Havana. The route, the demand, and the licenses have all existed before. This file examines what the crossing looks like the day it becomes legal again.

First readings from our proprietary demand archive on the Cuban economy: measured interest up roughly sixteen-fold since February, maritime logistics absorbing about half of all demand, and a news gauge running warm on crisis, not yet on opening.

Colombia just elected a president who gave the ELN a one-month ultimatum, and the guerrilla file runs straight through Havana. The regional architecture that long shielded Cuba is thinning, and it is measurable.
Read the analysisPublished coverage includes historical analysis. Read each article’s date and source context; a published scenario is not evidence that a transition or project has begun.
Dated sources describe what is known. Explicit conditions describe what a future could require. Neither sets a countdown.
Asset condition, ownership, local priorities and future rules must be checked before a research idea can become a credible project.
Cuban communities, diaspora professionals, researchers, operators and investors bring different knowledge. Better questions begin by listening.
