Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel was chosen to succeed Raul Castro as First Secretary after Castro recently announced his retirement. Diaz-Canel is the first leader of Cuba without the name Castro since the 1959 revolution. Will the end of the Castro era mean a change for the people of Cuba or U.S.-Cuba relations?

He is an expert on trade and investment, globalization, democratization, non-governmental organizations and is the author of over 200 books and articles on international relations..
As a nonresident senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, Feinberg authored reports assessing Cuba’s economic reforms on foreign investment, the country’s private enterprise and the emergence of its middle class, and solutions to U.S. property claims dating from the 1960s. Feinberg published the book Open for Business: Building the New Cuban Economy (2016).
