ABSTRACT
The transition to a post-Castro regime should be defined as a process of moving from a non-competitive political regime to a competitive political regime, centered on a process of privatization. Cuba will require massive technical assistance to transform the present non-competitive political regime's economic policies and institutions into those of a competitive democracy. Institutional assistance for state reform and training activities should be scheduled parallel to or preceding the proposed assistance for policy reforms. Parallel to the policy changes of the transitions in Eastern Europe must be a massive reorganization of the public sector as well as of the legislative and judicial apparatus along with retraining cadres in both the public and private sector. The Organization of American States, with ample participation of overseas and national Cuban lawyers and through its Inter-American Commissions of Human Rights and the regional body of jurists, could provide assistance to deal with the actions required from the roundtable in restoring the law rule.
